does anyone here drink teas that do have caffiene?? i used to drink a couple but when i gave up my coffee and caffiene as an experiement, my caffinated teas went with. i have been caffiene-free for about 4.5 weeks now and was thinking of having a cup [of tea that is] just to see what happens but im really scared of what could happen more then anything  i hope its just the coffee that is a trigger for me but kind of feel its caffiene all-together. any thoughts?? should i risk it?? im not all that stable now but i dont want further complications...

A little experimentation is ok when you're stable, but seeing as you *aren't*, I'd say you're running too high of a risk of bringing on an attack. But of course it's really up to you!

my DH actually had a box of it in his hand at the store today, but our tea cupboard is overflowing already. I'm about 99 percent sure it doesn't have caffeine.
I'm glad my suggestions helped. Happy tea-ing.

Herbal teas are your friend. I think I've had 2 cups of regular tea since January. the one in February just gave me more gas (wasn't stable yet). The one I had last week (pretty stable at last) didn't bother me much at all...but I only had it because I needed a bit of a "caffeine kick".

hey thanks! i checked out the vanilla red @ the store last night and am thinking about getting it!! is it overly sweet? i tried a 'dessert tea' vanilla-hazelnut by C.S. and it was just way too much. but i think the name says it all hehe
