Re: caffeine and other topics to

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Caffiene is one of those products that is known to cause

gastrointestinal upset and is frequently seen on pancreatitis

sites as something to avoid. I drink a cup or two on days that I'm

feeling okay, but stay away from it if I'm having any kind of

pancreas pain.

The same applies to coke, it is the caffiene in coke that causes

any upset.

There are many days when I just have to ignore housework.

Bending over, mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, bending over the

washer and dryer to do laundry.....all these activities can bring on

pain that remains for days. I find that on days that I absolutely

HAVE to do housework........before the dust bunnies multiply, the

laundry basket is overflowing and I can't find any clean

spoons...LOL, those are days that I have to double up on my

meds and collapse in the afternoon for a two hour nap.

Sex, too, can be difficult. Some days are worse than others. We

have learned to that it's better without having too much weight

placed on the abdomen. Extended foreplay helps, also, as it

tends to speed up the activity once you get started.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
