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. ;)

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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
