Re: Coffee Enzymes Found. Maybe?       03/31/04 03:00 PM Edit Reply Quote LauraSue Reged: 01/14/04 Posts: 4812 Loc: New York City Having said all this, I now understand the coffee/asthma link and the coffee/fibro link. And we all know from personal experience that coffee upsets our gut. BUT: We still haven't identified the enzyme. Enzyme names end in "-ase" like lactase, the enzyme that helps us digest lactose (milk sugar). Xanthine is only the name of the class of drugs to which caffeine belongs. It's not the name of the enzyme. So we still are looking for the name of the enzyme that is the IBS trigger that is present in both regular AND decaf coffee which explains why we can't even drink decaf. Does any of this make sense to the rest of you? It's important to me due to my need for caffeine (IN MODERATION) to help with my fibro. Anyone have any ideas? -------------------- Laura Keep it simple! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
