does anyone else find that even decaf coffee sets off their symptoms? I read today that not all caffeine gets eliminated from decaf and it explains a lot. Still, I'm sad to take it out of my day
There shouldn't be enough caffeine left in Decaf to cause any issues, but I guess it is possible. There's a gazillion different things that can effect Meniere's, so don't go blaming the coffee until you're sure that is the cause of your discomfort. I eat a very consistent, non-trigger food diet, and I still get days where I feel like crap, so don't always assume there's a "trigger"...could be that it's just one of those days.
Hi I drink decaf tea and feel no difference compared to ordinary tea. A link below to caffeine contents in coffee and tea including decaf content for both. A black coffee I think would send me spinning but not sure and not prepared to try as I am well. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/caffeine/art-20049372
When my symptoms are very active, I cannot even drink decaf coffee. I am guessing that even the small amount of caffeine in decaf affects me? I have found that some decaf is worse than others - I think because the amount of caffeine varies in decaf just like in caffeinated. Funny - I was just looking up info on this this morning and read somewhere that Folgers decaf instant has the lowest amount of caffeine. Not as good as a brewed coffee Im sure, but I think I will try it to see how it goes. I miss my coffee!
I miss coffee so much but won't even take a chance on decaf. Herbal tea is great and so is chicory but theres nothing like a coffee in the morning.
