Hi /fit I figured you guys would know best
This recently developed over the last year and I've never once really had a problem.
I don't consume caffeine a ton but when I do I get wicked acid reflex to where I just feel nauseous so bad where I can't even speak.
My doc told me it was too much whey but after cutting whey for awhile and still consuming Pre Workout I noticed it was the caffeine consumption. (i.e from coffee and tea as well.)
Do you guys think maybe I have a vitamin deficiency or something? I miss caffeine :(
Tell me about GERD and caffeine overdoses

I would usually consume >250mg

I always do. Am I overdosing?

Happened to me, scaled back, problem lessened.
Limit myself to a small (8oz) coffee a day now, and I don't drink it on an empty stomach unless I am struggling to stay awake.

I scaled back as well. I have a cup of coffee a week, 2 days in a row it starts to get bad. Don't want to waste the $400 I spent at the doctors again.
Just not sure if there is any fix for it, it's not like I was going wild in the first place.

Haven't found it, tried the l-theanine and coffee thing, didn't work.
Sadly the only way was to cut back heavily. I find that tea doesn't give me as much issues so I drink more tea, but like coffee, not on an empty stomach.

I noticed that too. Definitely consuming on a full stomach helps and it eases the nausea.

Something to do with your blood sugar being low after waking up I heard, though I need to look into it more.
Really though anything beats feeling like crap.

Eat meat bonehead
That will fix it every time

Do you smoke or drink alcohol and soda's regularly?
I had quite a severe issue with it until I cut out all three as well as caffeine. I don't miss any of it and now I never have flare ups.
Try 1000mg vitamin C on an empty stomach; the additional acid in your belly can help GERD by tricking your stomach into lessening its own acid production.

>gotta add more acid to confuse the acid already there, right babe?
>>38775899
Interesting I will definitely look into that more

No, I cut soda 5 years ago when I lost 90 lbs lmao. I do not smoke besides the 2 times I did when I was 16 and thought I was badass.
>>38775967
I'll definitely try that as well, thank you

It disrupts the (already malfunctioning) feedback loop, genius.
