Caffeine Intolerance?

So, heres how this works. I used to drink coffee like it was going out of fashion. Literally, buckets of the stuff while I was in my early/mid teens. I was a dancer, and sometimes it was the only way I could hold down the diets and the long days and stay awake.

Four years on, the smell of the stuff makes me throw up and if I drink I have to lie down in a dark room until the migrane goes away. I thought this was just coffee, but now chocolate, tea and pep drinks like red bull are having the same effect.

How common is this? Do I have a flukey system or did I royally screw myself over?

My guess would be that when you get healed, you'll be able to add it back -- I'd suggest this time that it be in moderation as a treat!! :P

I've cut out all things that I know are bad for me. Cooking gets tedious and I don't eat out, but I want to be better and figured I'd heal faster on good, healthy, whole foods rather than coffee and gluten-free donuts!! I plan on having treats again at some point, but right now that garbage doesn't even sound good!

There might be an herb tea you like to replace your coffee for a while. I've found Raja's Cup is similar to a cup of coffee, and it's good for you -- don't take that to mean it's just like coffee, it isn't, but there's no caffeine, and it's all herbal, and you can add cream.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
