circumstantial tree Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 QUOTE (Alsgalpal @ Jan 5 2010, 10:43 AM) QUOTE (Mara @ Jan 5 2010, 07:40 AM) I do have an ulcer and the first words out of my mouth when I was told the diagnosis were, "What about coffee?????" I was much reassured. It's a case-by-case thing; some ulcer patients can handle it and for some it's very irritating. It does not cause or worsen ulcers, though. (Um, yeah, I did fudge a little when asked how much I drink). Oh yeah, I also drink at least 1 two-liter bottle/day of Diet Mountain Dew, preferably flat. Before anyone gets on my case: I hate water. It's bland, it's boring, and the flavored sparkling waters I like are too expensive. Putting a lemon slice in the plain stuff does not help. I sweat so heavily working out that I need something in addition to plain water, or I cramp. You drink Mountain Dew flat and you hate water? I prefer water over pop now a days... I love my coffee but I drink the Crystal Light energy through out the day. speaking of soda, there ain't no way I'm drinking it flat. If it's cold, I don't want ice because it only waters it down. I limit myself to drinking one cup of coffee in the morning. Like Mara, giving up coffee is too sacrificial. Isn't it enough that I gave up cigarettes?

rushlady23 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ Jan 5 2010, 08:30 AM) But after my AM joe, I down water for the rest of the day. If not, then I get major dehydration headaches. same here...no headaches, though (unless I don't have those 1-2 cups of coffee ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sweat so heavily working out that I need something in addition to plain water, or I cramp. When I was training for my half marathon, I drank 1/2 water, 1/2 gatorade to replenish and keep me going after so many miles. Straight gatorade is kinda gross (and usually the only thing available in actual runs) but then I only take a sip or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakesideMaiden Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I love coffee. Nuff said But only Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and lately I've had to brew it myself, cause the shops have been making really crappy coffee lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert has the best coffee-related cartoons ever. I love coffee. I just finished a 24-ounce cup of it about 2 hours ago, and I am contemplating more. BEHOLD.....as I typed that, I just got an email from a co-worker about a pot of coffee that he just brewed "for your after-lunch rejuvenation!" They know me all too well around here. In fact, when you see me surfing TRF in the mornings (Eastern time), it is with a cup of coffee, however large right beside me. TRF and coffee......two great things that go GREAT together!!!

GeddyRulz Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I just did some poking 'round the Net, and it turns out I may be allergic to something in coffee other than the caffeine which is making me feel as crummy as I do. In answer to the question "Do you feel this way when drinking caffeinated soda or chocolate," the answer is a big NO. I can drink 2-liters of caffeinated soda per day and feel fine, but just one cup of coffee will often send me into a freak-out. It's gotta be the coffee, not the caffeine. Now what can I do about it so I can still drink coffee? Because I LOVE it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like a Muslim completing a pilgrammage to Mecca. I hit that Starbucks whenever I go to the Market and it is an awful experience! I totally understand the Mecca thing though. It's so tiny and all the pilgrims are always lined up out the door. Random Seattle Starbucks music fact: Remember the song "Spoonman" by Soundgarden? Spoonman (real name, Artis) used to play in front of that Starbucks all the time. When I first moved to Seattle, and before that song became a hit, you could see him down there all the time going to town playing his spoons. He was incredible to watch.

That these quality fair-trade organic beans are only $8.00 a can is a bargain and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
