Green Tea

Through elimination I took all green tea products out of my diet, it didn't seem to matter on brand. I used to have to 2 cups in the a.m. and have soiled underwear later in the day.

Since I don't drink it anymore, I don't have any spots. Anyone have any idea why? I looked it up on the web and can't find anything. I was trying to follow the "drink green tea for your health" advise.

Thanks-

were you drinking *pure* green tea? was it flavored? did you add milk/sugar/etc.? do you drink anything else that contains caffeine? are you bothered by other teas (black, white, herbal, rooibos)?

it's certainly possible to be sensitive to tea - particularly true tea (camelia sinensis) or herbal teas (though usually not *all* pure herbal teas), but it's not terribly common, especially with the reaction you observed. obviously, honoring what your body is bothered by is important, but it's probably worth checking to see if there was something else involved in your 'tea time' that could contribute, for thoroughness.

Yep, pure green tea and nothing added-also decaffinated!

I'm sure it's just me!

do you know how it was decaffeinated? my dad used to have problems with regular decaf coffee - something to do with the processing. there was one brand he could have, because it was processed differently. have you tried regular, non-decaffeinated tea? (white tea, for instance, is the same plant, and has a third of the caffeine that green tea has (which is a third of what a cup of coffee has :P).)

I have no idea why but green tea always makes me sick (nausea and vomiting). I can drink all other teas- white, black, gluten-free flavored but green tea gets me every time.

Me too. I know green tea has a good dose of theanine, (I think I spelled that right). I had the same effect when I took a theanine supplement. It is supposed to be good for stress and anxiety and I thought I'd give it a try. I wonder if some people just can't handle the theanine?

Thank you, thank you all for your posts! I thought I was crazy! I too can drink any other tea decaf or caffinated. I was drinking it for health reasons, and not feeling any of the benfit. I have since tried black, which I think is also healthy.

Found this side effect, thanks ravenwoodglass for showing me where to look:

Theanine is related to glutamine, the most abundant naturally occurring amino acid produced by the human body. Other sources of glutamine include chicken, eggs, spinach and beans.s.

as mtndog mentioned, you might try white tea - it has higher levels of polyphenols than green tea (which has higher levels than black). but if black is what you (and your body) likes... well, it sounds like a match. ;)

soy lecithin was in one green tea I looked at. I also had to give away my blueberry tea because it was also included in the ingredients. I unfortunately react to soy lecithin.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
