Re: Sara's Friend - Info about caffeine & nicotene withdrawal please?

[Guest guest]

Sara,

Not weird at all...since I started making changes in my diet...and paying more attention to the icky things that I have eaten and how they affect me...I have really noticed that the days that I would drink coffee as opposed to the days that I wouldn't...I would have serious heartburn later in the day. I cut my coffee down to days when I know I am just going to be home and can sit down and enjoy that cup of coffee...and of course have switched to organic coffee...which has helped tremendously. I still get a touch of heartburn but not like I used to. When I do get it though...some slippery elm seems to do the trick for me.

Okay, this is rather weird, but I'm sure of it now. _Every_ time he quits drinking coffee--and he has to *quit*, to have none at all--his stomach feels almost entirely better the next day, and now, after three days, he's still a little sore but having no pains, no "fullness" or heartburn, and almost no belching.
