Could my kefir be making me sick...Let's play detective

[Occamstazer]

If your coffee is suspect, here's some more anecdotal evidence:

I cannot drink coffee any more. I used to be a coffee chugger, but in the last six months or so, every time I drink coffee, I feel about like death would be welcome. I get nauseated, shaky, feeble, and generally lousy. When the buzz wears off I feel very anxious and weepy. This has happened from as little as a single tiny teatime-sized cup.

Yup, it does that to me too, the coffee. I can drink a cup, but any more and that's it for me. Especially if I have other stresses going on at the same time

Sounds like several of you have adrenal issues

Because coffee is a stimulant, and stimulants are used to treat ADHD, it has a soothing effect on me. Until I was diagnosed, I had no clue why caffeine had the reverse effect, and was embarrassed to mention it lest others think me strange.

Wow this is an interesting turn of events.

Suddenly a simple coffee is suspect? Dang. The new coffee does seem to match the time line of me feeling sick. And I have felt a weird acidic stomach from too much coffee in the past, but this is suddenly daily!

I have been careful of my eating today, a piece of toast, an apple, banana, a little turkey, Avo and a little cheddar....probably have some broth and a little roasted cauliflower for dinner. I just finished 2 qts of water and I am feeling better.

I am interested if anyone else has this issue with coffee?

Sorry, Dace, what a pain! Do you have a lot of pollen there now? I tend to get ultra-sensitive around reactions to foods when the pollen or mold count is high. Later, I can eat the same foods without trouble, if I limit amounts.

Ldy, I have a friend who gets very hyper-obnoxious, and I simply drive into a coffee shop and get her an extra large, and she can then fall asleep in the car! Amazing! Now I know why.....

We used to give my ADHD son coffee when we went on road trips...made the trip ALOT easier on everyone, he slept all the way!

That's awesome! I am not nuts!!!! (Opposing opinions welcome, but wrong !!!!)

You guys are hilarious!

I make my coffee pretty weak and I don't buy fancy coffee either. I am more in the habit of the warm, creamy, sweet wake up than the caffeine....and I never drink coffee after my morning 2 cups. Although, back in my old sugar filled days I loved Starbucks on occasion!

I was at the store yesterday so I bought my regular brand coffee and made a smaller pot this morning. Only going to have one cup, which I am half way thru. It will be interesting to see how I feel. I started my period so I am having nasty cramps and feel crappy anyways.....big fun :/

Free....that is crazy how pollen and mold affect you. I can't imagine how you ever figured that one out. I don't have allergies, but I suppose anything is possible!
