The "buzz" on caffeine

Does anyone know why we aren't supposed to have any? I drank some Stacker 2 dieter's water the other day and LOVED it. I loved it so much in fact that I went to their website and ordered a case of it!! Not only does it taste great, it is 0 cals, 0 carbs, and 0 sodium. The biggest plus is that it contains some of the ingredients of the stacker 2 which is supposed to give you; and I quote, "a thermogentic response" which in turn give you "lasting energy". And that is no joke!! This stuff is awesome. So, I'm sitting here sipping it so I can get my energy burst before I hit the gym and just noticed that the 5th ingredient is caffeine. I distintly remembering my nut saying drink only decaf coffee. Why?? Dawn

Hi Dawn, I'm not sure why, but I know that caffeine can irritate the stomach and perhaps since we have only a small pouch now, the likelyhood that it will maybe greater. I honestly don't have science here, but know that prior to having this surgery I could not drink anything with caffiene as it definately gave me great pain when ingested. Hope this is helpful, Deb

Hi Dawn I was told it had something to do with causing dehydration. And with many of us having trouble getting in our fluid, adding caffine to the mix wouldn't be a good thing. Regards and hugs, Ronna

Yes its because of the dehydration. For every glass of caffiene you need to drink one glass of water. But then again everyones doctors are different so yours man have another reason for not drinking it. I do drin****d tea daily and that is because its one fluid I can get in without gagging.
