How can I wean myself off caffeine (coffee/tea) that irritates my GERD? If I don't drink it, I get headaches! |
I was diagnosed with GERD in February and my doctor wrote me a prescription for a daily pill that blocks acid. I find that even still, if I have a lot of caffeine I have to take an additional Zantac to get rid of the heartburn and indigestion. (My doctor said that would be fine to do.) So I've noticed that when I drink coffee and iced tea, I get terrible heartburn still and it's bad enough that I'll occasionally freak myself out and think I'm having a heart attack. Of course, after two false trips to the hospital, I've come to learn that it's all related to the heartburn. How can I wean myself off of caffeine so I can avoid these symptoms. I tried to cut it out completely last week and wound up with headaches every day. Help please! Gradually reduce the number of coffees and iced teas you are consuming each day. Don't expect to do it all at once. The headaches will eventually go away. Be sure and drink lots of water as you try to go off the caffeine. That will help tremendously with the headaches. Cut down on the number of cups you have a day gradually till you're down to one. Then, keep cutting down gradually. Make your coffee by mixing caffeinated and decaffeniated: first 75%/25%, then 50/50, then 25/75, then all defcaffeniated. Otherwise, yes, there's withdrawal symptoms: headaches and also fatigue. You might have headaches every day for a while, but you might have to weigh the cost to your health of the headaches (which will go away) vs. the other symptoms. ur having withdrawal symptoms especially if u drank it like crazy for yrs non stop ...as in everyday, 2 times a day at least. |
