Hi ,

I gave it up years ago. Made my stomach feel yucky and gave me the runs:-)

I drink coffee ONLY to help me go to the bathroom. Without one cup in the morning, I can't go for a week! With one cup each morning, I go each day. Coffee has helped MY gut immensely. I had to go to a GI doctor and have a colonoscopy because the gut/constipation/hemorrhoids were so bad! GI doc recommended coffee as well as a nutritionist....every since, I have felt MUCH better! I was raised in a religion where coffee is unacceptable, so I've had to overcome internal conflict. I've also noticed my thyroid symptoms are MUCH BETTER with my one cup of coffee in the morning. So, it's helped me with my gut and with my thyroid issues.

Hi -

I realize this is a little bit of an old post, but....I drink coffee everyday.

I make half caffeine and half decaf. I drink about 2-3 cups a day. I don't

ever drink caffeine after noon, as it will keep me up at night. Otherwise, I

have no problems with it.

How are you otherwise? Have you gone gluten free?

Hi ,I was diagnosised with thyroid cancer 2 years ago and have had 2 surgeries to remove it. I started drinking coffee because since i have had my thyroid removed i thought i would start feeling better but i am so tired all the time i fall asleep at work during lunch it is awful just have no enery never want to do anything but get told my levels are fine lol. I started to drink lots of coffee to try and stay awake more. I was never a coffee drinker i became really ill to my stomach had tests done and they told me i was having an acid reflux problem and to not drink coffee anymore since than i feel alot better i still have problems sometimes but am on a pill which helps so you are not the only one.LoriTo: Thyroiditis Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 1:07:51 PMSubject: Re: It's National Coffee Day and just wondering...

Hi Miaja and Lori - thanks for the responses. Miaja, good to hear you're still

out there! How are you doing? It was interesting to hear the response posted a

while back that coffee actually helps some people in their digestive issues. I

am still drinking some but am off the acid reflux pill. Staying vertical after

taking my Levoxyl in the mornings seems to have helped my esophagus.

Lori, I'm sorry to hear about your rough journey - I can definitely relate to

coffee being the only thing to get my energy up at times. I'm not really sure if

it's the thyroid or age though. Are you looking into getting your thyroid dosage

raised despite what the tests say? Or adrenal tests/ treatment?

I have been gluten-free for about 9 months, Miaja - I imagine I will be for

life.
