hi emiko08,,

i have similiar situation as you.. i get headache after drinking certain coffeebean's ice blend or starbuck's frappe..

after some test and trial, i realised it could be the level of sugar content..

coz i have a perpetual problem if i had just a couple extra pieces of choco bar or candies.. dint need to pig out alot for the headache to take place..

so now, i stick with certain outlets for certain drinks only..

howver, thats just my case - anything with sugar content on the higher side..

not sure about you though..

have a nice day.
