Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 So do I I cut back to 2 cups in the mornng.

I find I feel a tad more energy when I drink my one cup of coffee in the morning, but there isn't a huge difference if I don't drink it. Either way, I'd really like to keep drinking it since I LOVE coffee, but will give it up immediately if it's making me worse. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hi , I'm like you! I did give up coffee for a while but then gradually started to drink one or even 2 cups in the morning. I just am able to get up and get going better. I am feeling better these days so I don't think it hurt me at all. I tried green tea but then everyone said that it had things in it that hurt your adrenals. So we can't win. Beebe Caffeine I'm finding conflicting info on the effect of caffeine on the adrenals. Is there a dose that is ok? Is it never a good situation if you have adrenal fatigue? I find I feel a tad more energy when I drink my one cup of coffee in the morning, but there isn't a huge difference if I don't drink it. Either way, I'd really like to keep drinking it since I LOVE coffee, but will give it up immediately if it's making me worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Dr Lowe feels that a moderate amount of caffeine is not harmful. I never gave up my coffee during my treatment and healing of adrenals and it did not seem to hurt at all. As it provides a modest metabolism boost it may even be helpful in SMALL amounts. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store (Closing after Xmas!!!) http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 , I too LOVE coffee. I had to switch mainly to decaf because of my heart palpitation. I mix one heaping teaspoon of regular coffee with two heaping teaspoons of decaf. I use one of those little black filters that fit over a big coffee mug and then I pour hot water through it. I have a big mug of that in the morning then in the afternoon, coffee o'clock which is 3:00, I add another heaping teaspoon of decaf. I get a little more caffeine from the grounds I used in the morning but I also get decaf. It is a compromise. I suppose if I were using a coffee maker I would mix it 1/4 regular to 3/4 decaf. I have also heard that organic coffee is the way to go but I can't find any organic that I like. I use Cravens Coffee out of Spokane and it is great coffee!!! a in North Idaho > > I'm finding conflicting info on the effect of caffeine on the > adrenals. Is there a dose that is ok?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 One cup should be okay. As long as you aren't drinking colas too. A little bit shouldn't do any harm. There is no real clarity amongst the doctors about this. Try doing half decaf and half regular - no guilt there. brookeharbour75 wrote: I'm finding conflicting info on the effect of caffeine on the adrenals. Is there a dose that is ok?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 There probably isn't any clarity from doctors on this because so many of us are affected differently. I'm having a difficult time with the coffee thing too. Like a, I've been using part caffeine and part decaf, it does give me a little bit of a boost, but it's not a good boost. It makes me feel agitated physically and i can get moody with it too. it's real difficult dealing with this, because I really need a little boost to try and get anything done, so it's frustrating for me wether to have some or not, if I don't i drag even worse thatn the days i do have some. It'ws also difficult that once I have a cup I want another :-) like you said, you can't win... > > > > > > > One cup should be okay. As long as you aren't drinking colas too.
