I know that caffeine drinks do not count towards your daily intake of liquids...but how about decaffinated? I finally found a decaf tea that is very good and with the cool weather coming I usually drink more hot liquids than cold.

My doc's office says decaffeinated products do count towards water intake.

I think it is generally accepted that decaffinated beverages count as liquid intake.

Check with your doc to be sure but generally yes. However try to get at least some Water each day too.

And you may want to ask your doc why caffeine is banned. Mine banned it because it was an appetite stimulant. When I told him it didn't have that effect on me (I think I had iced tea in my baby bottle LOL J/k) he gave me the all clear to drink it. I do get 64 oz of water in though.

Thanks all for your input!

RM....I think I had tea in my bottle too!! Hot or iced! I will still as much Water as I can but I do like that warm comfy feeling a hot cup of tea gives me.
