    I ordered and consumed a grande mint something or other frappuccino from starbucks this morning before I remembered that mint is drying. Uhoh!

    Should I take Fenugreek for a day or two to counteract it?

    Aimee - I don't know that one would hurt too badly. I've had the mint mocha chip frappucino before and haven't noticed a difference. Have you noticed effects yet? I'm a rookie, but I don't think you're in trouble... DH works at Starbucks, and I have to resist the urge to get the mint mocha chip frap every morning! :)

    Ooh, that's exactly what it was. I'll wait and see if anything happens. I had a few issues with thin mint girl scout cookies, so I've been paranoid about mint!!! Gosh that thing was good though...

    I think it takes A LOT of mint... I eat mint all the time. I put it on fruit etc.

    I never had any mint issues at all, didn't even know it can affect supply. Sounds like if you had some issues in the past you should just be sure to drink a little extra water today.
    I love those t hings but stay far away from them. Once I have 1 I want MORE!!!

    For most people it take a lot of certain herbs to do much (mint, sage, etc). For example when I was weaning I had to take 2tsp of dry sage 3times a day for it to be the dose to help with drying. That would probably be equivalent to 3-4 HANDFULS of mint a day to do anything, lol!!!

    I doubt there's very much actual mint in a big yummy Starbucks drink anyway! They probably use mint syrup that contains maybe a teeny bit of mint extract and lots of other flavoring. Don't worry, enjoy your drink! (And now's the time to enjoy all those fabulous high-calorie coffee drinks - you can afford it! :) )
