[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1896278, member: 41816"] Hi [USER=36344]@Chowie[/USER] I have to ask, why did you drink it, if there was sugar in it? The reason i say this, is because if someone gave me a cup of tea with sugar in it, i simply couldn’t drink it. Tea with sugar is revolting (to me) and the sugar would raise my bg. I would rather not drink than drink sugary tea or coffee at all. I just don’t think someone could hide sugar in a coffee without me noticing. So if i drank it, the responsibility is mine. Having said that, i was recently in a cafe (on hol) and ordered a gluten free chocolate brownie. It arrived. I ate it. I enjoyed it. But later that day, the unmistakable signs of gluten developed, and stayed with me for days. Not fun. The waitress had obviously made an error. So I do get what you are saying. I suppose i just see sugar in coffee (easily identifiable) is a different experience from a choc brownie with no discernable way to ID the presence of gluten. Incidentally, no, i don’t think my brownie waitress poisoned me. I think she was busy, possibly distracted, and things like this are an inevitable risk I run by choosing a gf brownie off a cafe menu. If my Gluten reaction was so severe that i wasn’t willing to take that risk, then I would only eat food I had sourced and prepared myself, and I wouldn’t have been in the cafe in the first place. I opt for water if I ever have a Maccies. Bunless burger and water. Edited to add: actually Chowie, on second thoughts, if it wasn’t particularly sweet, do you think the coffee had something like Coffeemate in it? Those coffee whiteners are sometimes a revelation, when you see the carb content. But a flat white shouldn’t have that rubbish in it. [/QUOTE]
