Hi! I love bubble tea and both boba flavors but have noticed I tend to get gas pains from boba drinks that use honey pearls vs the normal dark ones. From my internet research they are usually the same ingredients so I'm really confused why this is the case. Has anyone encountered this? Maybe it's coincidental, but this has happened to me across different bubble tea shops when I order the honey pearls. I can eat honey with no ill effect. Is it a different type of tapioca or carrageenan? Different sugars? Any thoughts?
