Decaf Espresso Causes Illness - Starbucks, Delray Beach Florida

7901 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, 33446 Florida, United States

For the first time I decided to get a Iced Chocolate Almond Milk Espresso (decaf). I normally get a decaf iced coffee black. I took a few sips and thought the taste was off because of the almond milk. Then my mom and husband both took a sip and said “tasted weird” again chalking it up to the taste of the almond milk. I had a few sips before dinner and my stomach started to cramp and I got very gassy. I thought it was just because I haven’t eaten yet. After dinner and the night progressed I wanted to finish it. As soon as I took the last sip I got an awful band of cramps across my midsection, followed by nausea and many trips to the bathroom for a bad stomach. I was freezing and my upper legs started to ache. (This drink was the only new addition to my normal diet and I had a healthy dinner that my husband has cooked for us many times before. The general feeling of unease and feeling sick was awful. I couldn’t sleep because the cramps and feeling in my stomach was so bad. It went on from about 11:30pm last night to about 1pm this afternoon when I was finally able to fall asleep. I have no idea if they didn’t clean the machines or if something was expired. But I don’t think I will ever order from there again. I’ve been a customer for so many years and never gotten sick before. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Other, Cramps, Gas
