Ugh the coffee is doing it again
I have been really good about one cup a day. But, it is making me sick again. Which means I have to take a break from it. Seriously, I am a solo parenting, homeschooling mother of 5 kids. I cannot handle going without coffee. I just cannot function
The last time it got this bad it took a good week to clear up. But, I was so tired.

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
Maybe try green tea instead which has healthful benefits and a milder version of caffeine?

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
I used to drink tea. But, it just doesn't do enough now. I might have to just deal with it. I think I am going to have to start napping once a day or something. Everyone keeps telling me how tired I look.

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
I posted a link in the other thread of my experience w/coffee.
I have a love/hate relationship with it. Are you taking any sort of probiotics on a regular basis? If I am regularly(like, every day) drinking my homemade kefir, I do better. But, the kids have been "helping" me drink it, so there's not that much to go around (not to mention the amount of milk we'd go through to make a lot of it....$$$).... *For me*, I had a similar response to green tea, though with my gut health getting better, I can tolerate it better now. FWIW, my go-to for the last couple years has been black tea with a bit of honey and a splash of milk or half and half. YMMV And I indulge in coffee every once in a while...though my last experience was not a happy experience. Maybe try Matcha? or Yerba Mate'?

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
I'm not the OP, but for me, it makes my stomach hurt, gives me brain fog/flying feeling/inability to concentrate....and many trips to the bathroom for #2.

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
Have any of you tried a liquid sub lingual vitamin B-complex during the day? Or just a liquid vitamin B-12? .... instead of coffee..... I mean. B-12 boosts energy in a big way. Don't take it in the evening.....

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
I've not tried sublingual/liquid B, but have noticed that a Twinlabs Stress-mins I have that is heavy on the B vits does give me more energy. I hesitate to take it w/my daily multi though, the Stress-mins alone cause neon liquid output, if you know what I mean.

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
It gives me diahrrea and horrible stomach pains. But, not if I have gone a couple of weeks without it. It gets progressively worse though.
This last week my stomach has even gurgling something awful. I forgot to buy B vitamins. I was going to. ---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ---------- Seriously today my stomach has been making noises.

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
That's what regular coffee does to me, too.
Then one day I felt I had to be polite when at a neighbour's house and have a cup of coffee when offered, even though I knew I would pay for it later. I drank it. I was fine. I visited a second time and drank her coffee a second time. I was fine again. Finally I asked what sort of coffee she bought. Organic. I must be sensitive to something used in the growing or processing of conventional coffee. I can drink any coffee I like now, as long as it's organic. NO stomach issues AT ALL. |

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
can you take a caffeine pill? I'm sorry it's making you sick heart
---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ---------- also, I have ridiculously bad gerd but I can drink organic fair trade Sumatran coffee and even Ethiopian coffee. fwiu coffee from South America is very acidic because it is hulled using machines that rip off the hull and leave the acid in the bean. In Africa and the surrounding area they dry the beans in the sun and the hulls fall off, taking the acid with them due to the time it takes. Turns out I even love the flavors better

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
It is organic. I thought maybe that would help, too.

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
I can't drink coffee at all, any more. Makes me . Big time. (gerd, diarrhea, etc, etc.....)
I recommend trying a good quality black tea. Though you ahve to remember that the caffeine in tea is a time-relaease rather than instant like coffee. You can take a caffeine pill at least until you get a level of tea-type caffeine in your body..... Black tea has more caffeine than green, & white tea has less than green. (Red "tea" is actually not at all; it tastes nice, but has no caffeine at all).

Re: Ugh the coffee is doing it again
FWIW, my tea of choice is Celtic Breakfast Tea. It has Assam tea with its' malty notes and I think Ceylon. It's basically a glorified Irish Breakfast Tea (my second choice) and is more strongly flavored than English Breakfast tea or just plain Lipton tea bags. I love it, and am seriously bummed when my local hfs is out and I have to settle with something else.
