coffee

Avatar f tn Actually, studies show those who have fatty liver benefit from caffeine. Coffee caffeine consumption is associated with a significant reduction in risk of fibrosis among NASH patients. Drinking coffee may help prevent diabetes as caffeine may be the ingredient largely responsible for this effect. Looks like you will be changing doctors. I'd discuss it with your new doctor but would not avoid caffeine in the interim unless of course there is a medical reason for it.
Avatar f tn Caffeine is found in more than just coffee. Caffeine is not only found in coffee but also in tea, soda, chocolate, and even some over-the-counter medications that relieve headaches. Be aware of what you consume. Fact or Myth? Statement: Caffeine causes birth defects in humans. Facts: Numerous studies on animals have shown that caffeine can cause birth defects, preterm delivery, reduced fertility, and increase the risk of low-birth weight offspring and other reproductive problems.
Avatar f tn You are suppose to limit the intake of caffeine..blah blah. Drink all you want, coffee, coke, tea, unless your dr advises you otherwise you can drink what you want.
Avatar f tn I drink a cup of coffee in the morning & sometimes a can of soda in the afternoon... & maybe a piece of chocolate or two. I don't think it's horrible. I know you can have some caffeine every day. I have 2 young kids at home & my thyroid levels are really low making me tired all the time. I think a little caffeine is better than falling asleep while my kids are awake.
Avatar f tn I drink a regular size cup of non decaf coffee a day and i drink hot lipton tea a lot and iyou refuse to drinkyou decaf coffeecoffee, its gross. Am i over doing it with the caffeine? Or can i continue with the one cup coffee and tea?
435139 tn?1255460391 One cup of coffee equals about 2 cups of tea when comparing caffeine levels. The recommended amount of coffee drunk is up to 3 cups daily, or 6 cups of tea, by the UK food agency. I found this.. I was actually pondering this post myself after reading yours because I have been craving the iced tea all the time and somedays I will drink 3 bottles of it! not so much the green tea though.. just the sweetened iced tea.
461781 tn?1285609481 So...I have a regular cup of coffee with milk and sugar every day in the morning, its not strong coffee, just coffee. And usually at work I'll have a cup of tea, either Green tea or Decaff tea. I don't consider that a lot of caffeinne, but I don't know if that is good or bad while ttc.
Avatar f tn I changed to decaf. Decaf coffee and decaf tea bags so I still got the same taste and raised less suspicion at work. I just had to dramatically reduce my chocolate and cola intake but I'm not finding that too hard. What I'm struggling with at the moment is around 1pm at work with the sudden realisation of how tired I am. This is where I have a real cup of instant coffee to keep me going. Good luck!!!
Avatar f tn I keep lipton cold brew caffeine free tea in my fridge at all times cuz I luv my tea too something to try
Avatar f tn I drink a glass of tea sometime and had a craving for a soda the other day but I usually don't drink any
Avatar f tn t good for the baby, I used to drink a 20 Oz espresso every day, but the Dr said that about the cup of one cup of coffee is okay, as long as you are not exceeding 200mg of caffeine, that applies to tea too. And absolutely no energy drinks. I completely stopped drinking coffee all the way and I was the biggest addict.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me I have to have caffeine at least once a day because I am addicted to it and so I have a glass of either coke or coffee a day or I will get sick. Drinking tea lowers your iron so I'd watch how much tea you drink but you will be fine unless your doctor says you can't.
Avatar f tn U can have 1 glass of soda or coffee a day. But more caffeine in the first trimester is linked to higher miscarriage rates. For me, I avoid it completely. It's not worth the risk.
Avatar f tn My ob said limit ur caffine intake to once a day is fine. Whether its soda, coffee, tea...
406957 tn?1202996900 I love love tea, so I just buy decaf tea with flavored herb tea and it is wonderful to drink! Too much caffeine gives me insomnia which turns into mania,, not a good combo for me! Also, be aware of how it interacts with your meds. I take a Lithium/wellbutrin combo and both stress to be careful with caffeine intake. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn I drink coffee or tea. Not every day, but every other at least. I'll get headaches if I dont. Just don't go crazy and it's fine.
8778737 tn?1413827423 t (aka they are addicted and dependant on caffeine) I like tea more than coffee but I crave coffee sometimes and my bf is also very strict about coffee intake! At least he cares but we researched it and it's okay for me to have a cup a day or two small cups!
Avatar f tn re drinking tea just because you like tea and not for the caffeine, you may want to consider green tea or white tea. Green has some caffeine but not alot. But if you are drinking for caffeine, coffee is better.
Avatar f tn I try to stay away from caffeine, but every once once in a while I will have a natural black tea with Stevia when fatigue is real bad. But, as a rule, I stay away from it because I also will crash after it wears off, sometimes feeling worse than before I drank it. Never have liked coffee, but being from the south, I miss sweet tea. Also miss Mountain Dew, but I haven't had a soft drink because of the sugars and other bad "stuff" for almost three years.
Avatar f tn ) oh and its ok to drink it in moderation I drink one cup of coffee in the am and the caffeine free soda later if I miss the coffee in the morning I have bad headache all day
Avatar f tn The recommendation is no more than 200mg of caffeine in a day, and a regular cup of coffee will not exceed that. If you are uncomfortable with a cup of full caffeine you can always try the half-caf and still get a little pick me up in the morning. I have a cup in the morning and then a cup of decaf if I want another in the afternoon.
Avatar f tn I remember her saying that with her pregnancy she did everything crazy cautious. No caffeine (coffee, tea, pop...), cutting way down on sugar, eating extremely healthy, and then she miscarried. Well, with the second pregnancy she went ahead and gave into that regular iced tea. Since the article is mostly focused on the judging it goes on to talk about comments from other patrons at restaurants, but the point is that doctors recommend cutting your caffeine to certain levels.
Avatar f tn I didn't have any caffeine at all in the first trimester. Ihad my first tall caramel macchiato at 19 weeks and then I've had like 2 Dr. peppers and 1 Pepsi. It's the only caffeine I've really wanted to put in my body... I used to have like 6 shots of espresso a day pre-pregnancy. I did read that decaf is extremely terrible for you during pregnancy. Apparently there are two processes to decaffeinate the beans... One is good, and the other involves a series of chemicals.
