Guest guest Posted May 4, 2000 Report Share Posted May 4, 2000 Hi Marta, You mentioned that you felt " drunk " , and that " all you drank was iced tea " . Well, I can tell you from experience that it makes me feel drunk all the time. (But I like it :-)) I remember that before I went in for my SPECT Scan I was told not to drink anything with caffeine because I believe they said it retricts bloodflow to the brain. Those of us with positive scans already have decreased bloodflow to the brain, so it would stand to reason that one would feel " altered " after drinking tea or other caffeinated beverages. We have a joke in our house that " Mom's drunk on Coca Cola again! " . It is proably NOT a good idea to drink these beverages...many LLMDs advise against it. I should take their advice..... :-} Joan LI NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2000 Report Share Posted May 4, 2000 HI Joan, Thanks for mentioning this, funny though that I have drank iced tea before in larger quantities and this feeling of being drunk never occurred. Never have I felt so stupid, not giddy or anything, just like a drunk who is trying to convince their friends they are OK to drive. Weird. I will lay off the iced tea anyway with hopes that it will go away. Thank God for spell check.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2000 Report Share Posted May 5, 2000 Not sure if this could be related,but a woman I spoke w/earlier this week claims that she'd often wake up feeling drunk. Her background's in chemistry, and she said she figured that what was happening was that *sugar* (from dietary intake) was being converted into alcohol (and something else I don't recall)-causing the drunken feeling. She was having a heck of a time w/yeast from the abx. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
