I can’t really think of a succinct way to ask it…sorry!

I’ve been having ongoing stomach issues following a parasite contracted overseas, and I recently saw a great gastroenterologist. I’m following her suggestions, except one, which I wanted to ask you Jellies about:

She recommends having a hot drink with breakfast, having a bowel movement, then avoiding hot drinks for the rest of the day. This is to help the individual have regular and complete movements. (Sorry, I love that movement!)

The problem is, I have to have my morning herbal tea (to hide the bitter taste of Grapefruit Seed Extract), and recently I’ve been really digging my afternoon latte or hot chocolate. As a wintertime street musician, it’s sort of a necessity. Do you think this “one hot drink a day” business is helpful enough to be worth giving up the spot-hitting second one?

Thanks!
