Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | So If We Can't Have Caffeine................

Then what can we have so that we can have that burst of energy/be more awake in the morning.

I've asked before and been told just to get more sleep, but that simply isn't a practical or helpful solution.
Even if you get 7-8 hours, some of us are on medicines which makes us drowsy or simply need that jump start of morning energy.

I am pretty groggy in the AM and would love it if there was a way I could have something like Coke/Coffee to get me focused...just about every adult...even those who are healthy....have their AM coffee or their coffee break.

This isn't a sign of having an unhealthy habit...us humans needs a boost to get through the workday.

So...for those of you here with IBS....what have you done?
Is there anything we can have that will have a similar effect that an AM coffee or coffee break has?

It really puts me as a professional at a disadvantage that I can not have
1) Coffee
2) Green Tea
3) Energy Drinks

I do not have time to be boiling tea in my office (hence this why they invented starbucks...professionals can't excuse themselves from meetings to tend to tea).

1) Is there any drink/supplement that is IBS AND CONVENIENT we can have to provide us with the energy boost that coke/coffee/green tea in the AM/PM does?

Thanks!
