I made some poppy seed tea from poppy seeds that I purchased online. It's my second time purchasing from this supplier and didn't have an issue with the seeds purchased previously.
About 10-15 min. after drinking about a half cup of the tea, I was doubled over in excruciating pain. It felt like a gall bladder attack (I had my gallbladder removed about a month ago due to gallstones). The pain went was all throughout my chest and abdomen. It subsided and returned a few times. Had I not taken the tea and I was in pain like this, I would have gone to the ER, that's how bad it was, and I don't even know if the tea had any euphoric effects because the pain was overwhelming.
I'm a glutton for punishment so I tried making the tea again from the same batch of seeds, only this time, reducing the amount of tea that I drank and I had the same result, though the pain didn't last quite as long.
The seeds are very strong. Just a few shakes in water and the water turns a dark brownish yellowish color.
What could be going on? Could there be something else in the seeds causing this reaction? I've read that theabine could cause stomach cramps, but I this bad? I've never had this problem with PST before!
