Coffee caffeine addiction

Common Questions and Answers about Coffee caffeine addiction

coffee

Avatar f tn So I'm not a smoker, a drinker or a drug user like at all but I have recently taken up an iced coffee addiction and I was wondering if it's really bad to drink a glass once a day? I do have a weakness for soda however because my iced coffee addiction is more important I've substituted that for juice so I can have my iced coffee so I don't feel too guilty about all the caffeine. And what's worse is I hate drinking water.... I know I have to but it's so hard. Any advice?
Avatar f tn I drink coffee and my doctor told me I can have 16oz a day of caffeine. I know people who drank a couple of 16oz mountain dews a day and their child is fine. I have a book for ftm and is says to much caffeine leads to low birthweight/preterm labor and miscarriage (not to scare you) but talk to your OB about it more. I am sure if it isn't a large amount of caffeine the baby will be fine.

Avatar f tn So I just Google whatever I want to drink to check the caffeine content. I have soda and coffee here and there but teas help as well.
491171 tn?1221504625 Caffeine is not a good thing, but like anything else in moderation is usually ok. However, if you ae drinking coffee in the morning are you drinking any other forms of caffeine during the day. If you have had problems concieving you don't want to chance anything. My RE told me absolutly no caffeine during the TWW or the pregnancy. When I asked my prior to the TWW, she said I need to stop drinking the caffeine early on so when I begin the TWW I am not having withdrawls.
Avatar m tn excedrin is 250mg asprin 250mg of tylenol in each tablet plus 65mg caffeine. perhaps a suggestion is that you could slowly substitute a dose of just regular asprin/tylenol in place of an excedrin that contains caffeine. then slowly reduce this dose. i should clarify what i said before. caffeine causes rebound headaches...as many are well aware. NSAIDs also cause rebound headaches when used daily...
Avatar f tn Some caffeine is ok. Like stated above 300mg is what you need to stay under. I know people who drink coffee every day and the baby is fine. Remember caffeine can be an addiction so it's important to listen to your body. Some people it's better to drink the coffee than have the withdrawls of a lack of caffeine consumption.
Avatar f tn You could try switching to non-caffeine containing herbal coffee, that is associated with decreased side effects. If this does not seem to help or you have trouble switching over, I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist for a de-addiction program. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar f tn Caffeine addiction is not a far stretch I went through the same thing when I first found out I was pregnant. My doctor told me you can drink either one cup of coffee of you can have a 12oz soda a day and it won't harm the baby.
Avatar f tn prior to finding out about my baby, I had a serious caffeine addiction. Now I'm having a hard time going without caffeine, any suggestions?
9704378 tn?1553726192 re just having a cup or two of unsweetened coffee or tea in the morning, caffeine can be a pretty benign addiction (guilty) in the sense that there's no proven detriment to your health. Sugar, especially in soda, is another story. Soda is basically liquid sugar, and too much of it poses some serious health risks (diabetes, obesity) as well as really messing with your mood and energy levels. I'd try weaning off it if you can, it's bad for you for sure.
Avatar f tn Your caffeine intake should be limited. Just make sure you drink lots of water to try and balance things out. Also, you can order decaf if you can stand it. But 1 cup for the day is very low and ok. I know I went through a bad period of migraines from caffeine withdrawl before I became pregnant.
938812 tn?1297651988 Well normally every morning i drink 2 cups of coffee...
Avatar f tn I have a caffeine addiction and because of severe migraines I still drink a coke or 2 a day but I also upped my water intake greatly to compensate for the caffeine.
Avatar f tn I drink soda still not everyday but probably close enough lol and as for coffee I only drink decaf but thats cuz the caffeine upsets my stomach.
Avatar f tn 2 teaspoons of the coffee i put in my keurig because i dont like it too strong.i dont drink a lot of coffee anymoreso i was just wondering if my baby girl will be ok :) i know were allowed 200 mg of caffeine but because of the roast i was hoping im in the clear still.
Avatar f tn I love my caffeine! Sofa coffee whatever keeps me going, how many of you found it really hard to cut back being that your pregnant?
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.
11157192 tn?1430159059 Coffee is okay. Try to limit it to 1-2 a day. Drink lots of water.
Avatar f tn Im a huge coffee drinker as well. My doctor said 4 cups were fine 2 in the morning and another two thru out the rest of the day. My baby boy is healthy and big already.
Avatar f tn Yes coffee has a lot more caffeine than soda. I just don't like soda because of the sugar..
Avatar f tn In the beginning of my pregnancy i drank a lot of pop cause its all i craved until my cousin yelled at me. It can cause still birth (caffeine) so i completely stopped the caffeine drinking. I only drink sprite & gingerale if i want pop. I hate coffee so thats not a prob for me. Id say try drinking pop with no caffeine. I drank a coke the other day and through it all up.
Avatar f tn I heard that caffeine is acceptable. But of course not too much. I'm gonna ask my midwife about coffee next Wednesday because i love cappuccinos!
