Let's talk CAFFEINE

[Smoke_A_Lot]

Does coffee upset anyone else's stomach at times? That's the only downside to coffee for me. I only keep it to one cup in the morning, rarely i'll have a cup in the evening and that's only if I'm dragging.. If I had multiple cups, I'll practically be living in the bathroom the whole entire day. LOL

Yeah, it's pretty acidic, and there's a decent amount of historical figures who were totally Coffee Addicts, that would talk about the terrible stomach issues they would get from drinking too much of it.

Tears my stomach up, it's the high acidity. Another reason I keep it to one or two cups a day.

I hear that guys, it's especially hard for me having GERD - if it wasn't for Omperazole & Sodium Bicarbonate tablets I'd be in a world of hurt.
If you wanna know what GERD feels like let me explain it this way - imagine acid stuck in your throat burning, and no matter how hard you cough it doesn't go away, you can drink a gallon of water and it will still be there. You can't lay down or relax, you have to stay standing for the acid to "go down". When it gets bad like that I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Sorry to hear that bro. Curious; have you ever given spicy foods a try ? I've heard for years that spicy Chilis are great at helping with acid problems, but I haven't tested it myself. Obviously, I'd say talk to a Doctor first, and do a little googling, because I'm in no way a Doctor, and GERD may act different.

I deal with GERD as well. Doctor has me taking Protonix , and I have had very few issues since. Except when I forget to take it for a few days.

Have you ever tried any spicy food while dealing with that ? I know it can help with bad acid issues, but my knowledge of GERD is limited a lot and I don't want to give him bad info. Any experience ?

I'm in no way a Doctor,

That’s a relief, although you have never tried to kill me, that’s more than I can say for them!

I take it after breakfast and after dinner EVERY day.

Spicy food is a trigger for me so I have no experience trying to counter act acid reflux with it. But taking my prescription I can handle most of my triggers. Spicy, sugary, fatty/oily foods.

If you have GERD you're supposed to stay away from spicy foods so I wouldn't know and don't think I'd want to try lmao.. Burning diarrhea doesn't sound appealing to me LOL

Like @Bodean said the medication works wonders and allows me to eat things I usually couldn't. but if I forget to refill my prescription or not take Omeperazole for a few days I'm in a world of hurt.

 

[Psychobilly]

I can't lie to you, the super spicy stuff, burns twice LOL. But from the sounds of it, there's no way you should ever try that, if it's a trigger. Chocolate Napalm is only funny the first time haha.

"Pure maple syrup also has fewer carbohydrates and is lower on the glycaemic index than honey, which may make it healthier for certain diets."

Saw this hack on a clickbait site.
Takes the edge off a nasty flat or bitter bean.

Some coffee does that to me too, I've just found a few that are smoother than others. Less acidic the better. That Boomi coffee I had was pretty bomb and no stomach bugging for me.

I hear yall talking about having to give up spicy food. Feel for ya, I love spicy food. I'd be all butt hurt, literally, if I had that to deal with. 👊👊👊

White2tea's MC&A, short for Milk, Cream, and Alcohol. 2015 Raw Puer. Fascinating in that there's essentially zero bitterness or astringency due to how long it's aged. This is the first steep, I'll probably pull this another 5-6 times at least.

The pot is a 1990 Duanni Yixing, Jingwen is the name of the shape.

Gonna go eat some salted egg yolk custard steamed buns with it.

Simple but love this combo. Almond milk creamer helps to not have acid reflux.

Cheers!

I've begged for coffee as kid. Dad, would let me, but no sugar no cream, we were just to poor for that. Mom would make coffee gravy and biscuits, if some left over coffee was in the pot, as she made the first pot of that day.
Now, 60 years later, we use a Keurig maker.
After waking, while reading, I'll drink 3 maybe 4 cups. A morning blend, then a donut shop, then a extra dark, then whatever grabs my attention on the coffee carrousel, that holds the pucks.
I do not like to eat anything before 12:30 to 1:00 pm or so.
After I eat, I hammer water, till around 5:30 - 6:00 then have another one or 2.
By 7:30 I start nodding out a bit, to TV psychoses drivel, and copious amount of ganja.
Coffee, never keeps me awake. Well the stuff we drink anyway.
