Ok this is my second time aound on Met so I kinda need a refresher course on what foods for me to avoid. I know all about aviding the fatty, greasy, high sugar, and high carb... but what about coffee??
I had a very good breakfast today (scrambled eggs, turkey bacon)
This afternoon I went to Dunkin Donuts and got a medium hazlenut with milk and 5 splendas.
I also indulged in a cookie.
The result was several trips to the potty...
So I know it could've been the cookie but did the coffee play a role too? Just wondering what some other experiences have been w/ coffee and Met.
Thanks!

I know that my cousin who is also on Met. says that she can no longer drink coffee because of the reaction she got from it. I would think that if you want coffee maybe just do a small and see how that goes. And I'm sure the cookie just didn't help much! But I definitely know how that goes, all that good stuff is just too tempting. I am having a horrible time sticking to a diet course I am having a hard time just eating right now, so I feel that as long as I am eating something but I haven't felt like eating much lately!!

Are you in the market for wedding or other types of floral bouquets? Or are you in need of jewelry or even a new rosary, whether it be for yourself of as a gift?

I rarely drink coffee and had a couple of cups yesterday and it was the WORST met day I've had in recent memory!! I also had a salad at lunch so that didn't help matters.

Hey, so I'm getting ready to start Met this Thursday...I get up at 4am for work and have a cup of coffee (I have to have it, I work 13 hour days) Have you been able to figure this one out yet? If not, any ideas for caffine besides coffee?

I have been bad and indulged in sweets again which did lead to a upset tummy and one trip to the potty that wasn't too pleasant but I took Immodium right afer since I was going out to a friends house for the evening...
I have had caffeinated tea with no problem...
try the coffee and have some immodium on hand... or wait till the weekend/when u don't have work to try the coffee.
Good luck!

Hi ladies! I'm actually drinking coffee as I read this! I don't drink it every day, but I have about 6 or 7 times since I started Met (about 5 weeks). I haven't had any problems with it at all yet. I usually just have one cup and I have some sugar free french vanilla dairy creamer. Diet pepsi seems to be fine, as well. I think with a lot of these foods/drinks, it's all personal. Some things have affected me that haven't affected other people I know...I've also found that I can eat/drink a lot of things others can't. So I suppose it's all process of elimination for us. Good luck!!

I don't drink regular drip coffee, but I have noticed that iced mochas and mocha freezes do make the Met side-effects a little more pronounced...but so far, nothing intolerable.
As everyone's body will react differently, maybe try a cup of joe on a weekend when you are staying around the house?

Coffee makes a lot of people have to go to the bathroom anyway, so when you combine it with the GI terror that Met can be, that's probably why it's upsetting you.
I used to drink coffee every day (even on Met, and I was lucky that it didn't bother me) but when I developed IBS I had to go off of it because it was just too bad. The first few weeks/months without coffee were horrible. I felt sluggish all the time, and even now I often think "I'd sure feel better with a little bit of coffee" but for the most part, I'm now fine without it.
But being a little less perky is worth it to me if it means I don't have to crap 10 times a day

I would think it was a combo of the two. Anything sugary would make me run for the bathroom. Caffeine did too but not as much. However, you said you put Splenda in it? I researched splenda because apparently it gives me migraines, and diarrhea can be common with splenda. I would try each by itself to figure out the problem.

Sarah- I don't think it was the Splenda that upset my stomach- I use Splenda all of the time in my tea with no adverse reactions...
snfr02chic- I see you may be TTC for a baby in 08? Good luck... While I didn't TTC very long nor expereince many problems, I knew I wasn't ovulating nor menstruating regularly. My dr put me on Met which I began on April 21st of last year. I very quickly lost weight (close to 20) and on May 29th of last year I got my BFP. DH and I were shocked that it happened so quickly and know how lucky we are. My daughter was born this past February. Good Luck to you!
