Caffeine

I know that this is probably not celiac related but does anyone else have problems drinking caffeine? I get very nervous and very uncomfortable and anxious when I drink any caffeine. If I have a cup of coffee in the morning, I am anxious all day from the caffeine. I avoid caffeine now but I met a friend this morning for coffee and I ordered what I thought was decaf tea and after drinking it, I noticed that it was regular tea and I have been anxious ever since from the caffeine.

I honestly can't remember if caffeine made me anxious since it's been over a year and a half since I had it last, but I do know that it hurts my stomach really bad. I can get away with maybe one sip of my husband's soda, but any more then that and I'm done.

I had to cut the caffine out myself because I finally realized that it caused shakeing on my insides, heart palpataions, insomnia and fatigue. Found that out in doing an elimination diet.

Oh em gee. I canNOT do caffeine any more. One can of soda and I'm up for days. It's comical at this point. Caffeine is just not happening any more.

The funny part is that I used to be a coffee junkie. I loved caffeine and worked better with it, drank pot after pot in a day with no sleep problems. Oh, to be young again. ;)

Well, i'm glad that Maxwell House makes a decaf! :D

Next time I go to that coffee shop, i'm getting hot water and bringing my own tea bag.

Both my parents and one grandparent had to cut it out due to heart issues being caused by it.

I realized on my own, way back in high school it wasn't right for me - heightened my anxiety and didn't keep me awake, actually made me all foggy.

I drank it in extreme moderation (so yummy) for some time as an adult, but realized even one cup a week would get me addicted and withdrawal is no good. So I had cut out coffee.

Then I had a week where I had a chai latte every day for a week (not realizing that duh, it was black tea!) and it triggered the worst hypomanic episode I've had in years (I used to struggle regularly with mania and depression, in my late teens/early 20s). That was a wake up call for me that caffeine in itself is not a good thing for me AT ALL. I could have a half cup of decaf a couple times a week with cream without negative effects.

This past year I had two horrible experiences where I had a little bit of coffee that someone else had put non-dairy creamer in. It made me super sick - vomiting, terrible abdominal pain, migraine auras, headaches, and brain fog, so that made staying away from coffee that much easier.

Now I'm well and truly off the stuff!

Yep, caffeine is a no go for me now. Coffee will make my joints hurt like there is no tomorrow (yeah, I'm only 28) and I get a massive dose of insomnia. Just plain caffeine in tea (can't have any pop because of corn) makes my hands hurt and I get jumpy. I've transitioned everything to decaf, except for coffee which is just out.

I have a theory on this actually. I don't really think anyone should drink caffeine. I think it does affect all of us in different ways etc. It's just that we are more conditioned to pay attention and listen to what our body is telling us after ingesting something. We also have already begun working on the self control to not eat or drink something that makes us sick. So we're more apt to cut something out that causes discomfort.

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
