Started drinking Decaf coffee.. Is this ok? Anyone else drink this daily?

[PittGuy 201]

My doc allows drinking Decaf. Now I just have to find one that is decent.

I have a Decaf coffee daily in the morning, I add my Protein in with it so I get a treat and my protein all together

My Nut will never admit this but she does allow 1 cup of coffee in the morning but you CANNOT take your Iron supplement for several more hours.

Caffeine retards the absorption of Iron into your system. also it decreases appetite and can cause dehydration .

I address these issue by eating on a schedule rather than when im actually hungry.

force the 64 oz Water into my daily schedule. and take my iron supplement at night

Also some of the reasons i may not have issues is i drink it several hours after my Breakfast and Vitamins , also i take my coffee black , no cream , no sugar.

and my surgeon has me on a med for anti acid and ulcer preventive im sure that helps also.........so far so good, be careful

I have coffee regularly. Not every day, but whenever I get the craving. Sometimes Decaf, sometimes regular.

I'm allowed up to two cups caffeinated a day. Usually I stick to that rule. But when I have a 16 hour work day, stuff happens. lol

I work third shift I have not had coffee yet on the account I have not gone back to work but if I can't have it. Bad things will happen.

My nut can live with a cup of coffee a day.

I'm averaging 4 cups of Decaf a day.. Is anyone else? I figure I'm ok with decaf.. Is this ok? I haven't got a straight answer from nut.. Just limit caffeine

I have been really careful not to get back into a daily coffee routine because I had not realized how dependent I had gotten on that prior to surgery. However, my program does allow 8-10 ounces of caffeinated beverages per day. i.e. coffee or tea.

Wow. I didn't realize there were any strict rules about coffee. I drink it almost every day. Is the issue just Iron absorption or are there other issues with it too??

Caffeine is actually dehydrating and can be hard on the stomach.

Caffeine is actually dehydrating and can be hard on the stomach.

It's less dehydrating than most people think. It is somewhat, but with the liquid you're putting in by drinking it, it pretty much balances out. I would limit the caffeine, though. I alternate between regular and Decaf.< /p>

My doctor allows two cups a day. It actually helps me "go".

coffee can cause ulcers as well...
