BANGKOK, July 21, 2026 – A Thai woman has gone viral after revealing she underwent multiple surgeries to remove nearly 50 gallstones, which she suspects were linked to her daily habit of drinking Thai iced tea for a decade. She had consumed at least one glass of Thai iced tea daily for approximately 10 years. On some days, she drank two glasses and admitted that she rarely drank plain water during that period.
She shared her experience on Facebook, posting photos of the stones removed during surgery, warning others about the risks of poor hydration and excessive sugary drinks. Doctors diagnosed her after she developed persistent pain under her right ribcage.

Medical experts, however, caution against drawing conclusions from a single case. They note gallstones can result from genetics, diet, obesity, ageing, rapid weight loss, or underlying conditions, not just one beverage. While sugary drinks may contribute to broader health risks, specialists stress gallstones usually arise from multiple factors.
