Pages: 1 Caffiene substitute?       #367575 - 06/08/12 03:58 AM Edit Reply Quote sissalem Reged: 02/20/09 Posts: 17 Loc: Ohio So, I drink a lot of caffiene... and I mean a lot. Between energy drinks and coffee, it's what keeps me going. I work full time and am in school full time and am trying to start up a side business so need all the energy I can get. Especially when I go camping once a month because I'm usually running around on a couple hours sleep a night. So, in order to cut out the caffiene... does anyone know of a good substitute that is safe for IBS and can still keep me going?

Stimulant drinks tend to cause GI spasms. There are plenty of non-stimulant drinks like herbal teas. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Caffiene substitute?       #367600 - 06/13/12 01:58 AM Edit Reply Quote sissalem Reged: 02/20/09 Posts: 17 Loc: Ohio What is safe to use for energy?

Or do things like reduce the amount of fat/oil and use an egg white instead of a whole egg in the muffin. The ground flax seed could be a problem for some people. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Caffiene substitute?       #367603 - 06/13/12 06:42 AM Edit Reply Quote Susie1985 Reged: 05/04/11 Posts: 211 SERIOUSLY? How on earth is this safe? Am I really the only one who has problems with too much fat in one meal? That first concoction is almost pure fat. -------------------- now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols) before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010 FODMAPs: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml [I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
