Tried that 'honey in coffee instead of sugar' thing and my stomach was wrecked for 3 days
Swapped sugar for local honey in my morning coffee last Tuesday and spent the whole day running to the bathroom with bloating and cramps. Anyone else have a rough reaction to honey or was it just some bad batch or something?

My wife read somewhere that raw honey has natural yeasts and bacteria that can really upset some people's stomachs if they aren't used to it. She had the same problem when she tried it - terrible cramping and gas for two days straight. It might not be the batch itself, just that your gut isn't accustomed to processing all that live stuff in unpasteurized honey. Maybe try a processed supermarket honey first to see if the reaction is different.

Tbh that phrase "natural yeasts and bacteria" is exactly what got me too @grayperez. My stomach just couldn't handle the live stuff in raw honey. Regular processed honey was totally fine for me though.
