What the heck could be in Tim Horton's coffee that gets me so sick?
I'm a coffee drinker. I make my own in the morning at home, take it work, etc. I don't over do it, I usually only have two cups in the morning. In the afternoon, I've been getting a cup of Tim Horton's, and within an hour, my stomach hurts and starts making some serious noises, like there's an alien in there! Why? Does anyone else have this problem??
I'm done drinking it, since I feel lousy if I do. BUt I'm still curious as to what it could be!
Answers:
could be the type of cream, if you are used to low-fat milk in your coffee at home/office then you switch over to high fat heavy cream at a coffee shop...spells out trouble! I have the same problem. I ask for my coffee with low-fat milk and my tummy is just fine now. Kinda stinks though, can't get an iced capp because of the creamer too! Maybe that will help, the only way to know if that's your problem too is to try a cup with the milk and see if it works for ya. =)
could be a diaretic. or maybe some hyper digestive agent.
...try having a meal before. you should always have food in your stomach when you drink coffee.

I had to read this several times
I would recommend switching instant coffee Many gourmet verities of Instant coffee are available.
Make a cup at a time
maybe your allergic to something they make near the coffee stand check it out so you wont have this problem again.
I have that problem too if they put cream in it. The Tim's in my town used to have a real idiot working and I'd ask for milk in my coffee, she'd put cream and I'd know it half way through the cup because my tummy would be doing flips. Ever since they fired that girl and I get milk when I ask for it, no problems.
They make Iced caps with 2% milk if you ask them to. Even chocolate milk if your heart desires...
They use 18% cream you could be a bit lactose intolerant, as for added agents, then others would be having the same issues, I myself do not like Tim Hortons coffee, and we 8 here and 9 th on its way.
I try to stay away from it because of the sugar, and fat in the cream and there coffee has no real taste with just milk.
I'm not familiar with the brand but if they are adding any kind of milk to the coffee you could be lactose intolerant. Sometimes when the milk is mixed with warm drinks it seems to activate a horrible reaction within our bodies (trust me I know....I am lactose intolerant) If they offer soy milk try that and see if it makes any difference. If not their coffee just might not work well with your body....
