Hey folks. Have been a regular HUELigan since 2017. Maybe one shake every other day for about three years and loving the convenience.
With version 3.0, I am now experiencing throaty/swallowy issues a day or so after consuming a shake. Feels like minor irritation/swelling. Can’t clear my throat sort of feeling.
It’s definitely the HUEL. I’ve done an extensive food rotation/avoidance to find the culprit… always the same result. All foods are fine except the HUEL.
I suppose it is possible to develop an allergy to any food which is consumed long-term, but the fact that this issue developed precisely with the release of v3.0 is telling. Has happened with unflavored & original v3.0 from separate batches.
That could likely be it although I believe the amount of kombucha is rather modest and barely significant (although I could be wrong).
Getting tested for allergies is so important… I developed a shellfish allergy in my late teenage years which resulted in a trip to the hospital. Lesson learned!
Aha… the kombucha is a definite possibility. I don’t consume it so I wouldn’t know for certain. I do know that I can handle black tea, but for some reason green tea doesn’t treat me well.
shrug… oh well. I hope they come up with a tea-free or “low allergy” product in the future. Wanna get back on the HUEL train!
Please consider a tea-free/allergy sensitive version in the future. I’m not allergic to common irritants in general (pollen, nuts, etc.) but the tea exclusion can be fairly annoying with so many all-in-one vitamin supplements and nutritional products now including it.
I’m going to start a new political action committee: Save Tea Time For Tea Time!
Ha ha. I’ll stay tuned for tea-free version… hopefully.
Anyone else?
