From someone who worked at starbucks. If you have a milk/dairy allergy AT ALL. DO NOT. I repeat. DO NOT. Drink Pumpkin Spice.
It contains dairy IN the syrup that is used to make the drink. Even if you get it made with soy, you will still be getting doses of dairy in there.
Depending on the severity and intolerance it can and will cause reactions. I found that as a barista I was constantly warning people about the dairy in the product. No one ever seemed to tell them that there was dairy in the mix. More times than I can count I heard people realize that’s why they kept having reactions, or that’s why it made them sick.
People legitimately do not know that pumpkin spice no matter what you do will always contain some amount of dairy.
ANYONE who has a progressive disability, chronic illness, just gets sick a lot, cancer, etc. seriously look into the app called Updoc: Health Diary
It’s amazing. It has custom intensity scale ( 0 to 5, 0 to 10 and a custom one), it has 24 hr clock or 12 hr clock, its REALLY easy to use (you just hit like, ‘symptom’ click which symtpom and say how intense), it tracks symptoms, doctor visits, measurements, medications, and the developer is super hands on and tries to fix any issues/bugs as fast as they happen. Seriously I love this app i dont know where I would be without it.
