Coffee - How much is too much?!

[SimonMac]

Have you considered speaking to a doctor ?

I don't think there is a sympton that exists, that won't lead to the 'cancer conclusion' if you research it online

Will book a trip to the doctor next time I am back home, in the mean time trying the detox

If your symptoms are bloody poo then try eating some fibre. Muesli for breakfast and fruit as a snack.

If you go cold turkey on the coffee you are going to feel pretty rough, expecting a belting headache and flu like aching.

Try having less bum-sex too.

The most likely cause of bloody poo is hemarrhoids.

Or try being the giver for a few weeks

Coffee - How much is too much?!

Side note: you can tell whether you are middle class or not by whether you thought the answer to that question was "£5". Toffs and working class folk would both have thought the answer was "about 5 cups a day".

I drink a lot of coffee, and I mean a lot, I am easily into double figures of normal cups of coffee during the day, topped up with Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso drinks, I try to counteract this with water, maybe 2 liters a day but I think I might need to go cold turkey for a bit to give the system a bit of a detox.

This is not going to be fun

Are you sleeping badly?
Are you feeling nervous and paranoid?
Are you getting unexplained headaches?

if you answer no to all of those then don't worry about it?

[BlasterBates]

Basically unless you're losing your appetite, losing weight, suffering a temperature in the evening or being sick ocasionally there's nothing to worry about.

If you have symptoms longer than a couple of weeks go and see a doc. You may have something like lactose intolerance or something equally harmless but might need treatment.

Are you sleeping badly? See my insomnia threads
Are you feeling nervous and paranoid? I am not paranoid, people really are after me!
Are you getting unexplained headaches? Yes, but they normamally disappear when I log off CUK

if you answer no to all of those then don't worry about it?

Erm....

I gave up coffee in November 2007.
