Re: Caffeine

[Guest guest]

My husband saw a Naturopathic Dr. last year before the PSC was dx and he

said that he did not think that caffiene was good for the liver because

it "excited" it?????

It made it hard for it to do its normal functions. My husband

seems as though he drinks more of it now (coffee) than before in the place

of a beer and other social drinks.

It is processed by the liver, so it may give the liver more work

to do

but I don't know of any other specific problem it causes.

I have had

problems with caffiene staying in my system for a long time (several

days without much sleep) due to the fact that it takes longer for

my

liver to remove it from my system. I don't use it intentionally

any

more, 'cause I like to be able to sleep!

can you ever decaffeinate a coffee drinker? I've tried but those miserable

headaches.

The only way is to slowly cut down. maybe dilute your coffee with some

caffeine free coffee-a little at a time.

I just saw somewhere that caffene is helpful for kidney dysfunction. Sorry

can't come up with the source. Perhaps it was in one of the articles you

posted. <smile>

As Harry says, 2 or 3 cups isn't a problem.

Hi Folks,

Well I did it again. Drank too much coffee. How can I decaffeinate

myself?

And before you start in on me Harry, I have learned my lesson. Smile.

Hi Folks,

I can tell I did not frame my question clearly. It is not that I want to

decaffeinate myself over a long period of time, but for the immediate time

being.

From time to time, I get far too hyper. Then I want to clear out my blood

stream quickly.

Dave I too get a headache from decaffe. Besides why bother drinking coffee

if not for the boost? Decaffe has way way too much salt for someone on bp

meds.

I agree three or four cups can be helpful for lots of reasons. I think I

am close to being addicted! Smile.

Thanks everyone.

Did take two large glasses of water and it helped a little.

your nuts Harry. try telling that to the doctor. My doctor just told me to stop

all caffeine, pop and carbination, because it can cause a stomach disorder in

diabetics over time and lead to terrible, if not impossible, sugar regulation.

You might enjoy it, but that doesn't mean it is good for you and to throw all

caution to the wind.

BTW yes, I drink 2 cups of coffee a day and an occasional pop.

BTW also as a diabetic the pollutants, phosphoric acid, that are in pop and

coffee are not good on our kidneys which we are all trying to preserve.

Good Morning ,

Do you have any thoughts on tea?

BTW, I drink the coffee for the caffeine alone and actually do not care

for the taste at all.

You sure seem to have bounce to the ounce. Smile.

Well we are all going to die of something because if they didn't put it on

paper someone would be upset.

So I will enjoy both.

Hi Rita.

I'm not a huge tea drinker but, normally I use one tea bag for about 3 cups of

tea instead of getting a new bag each time to try to cut down on the caffeine.

What kind of stomach disorder could pop cause?

I have not heard about it.

O yes, I did talk to Wayne last evening and he was doing well. Wayne

feels that he is improving and hopes to be able to get into a rehab unit

soon.

I have forgotten the details but Wayne was telling me that a particular

rehab facility told him that since he has lost both lets they could now

consider him handicapped. He was incensed! I probably can not repeat

exactly the verbiage he used to describe what he told them back but,

trust me, it was fluently spoken... (smile) I have to admire his courage

and determination because it is probably more than I would have under

similar circumstances.

Let's just keep up the support folks.
