I'm nervous about my day trip tomorrow but nerves and UC don't go to well together.

I used to use coffee to empty out, but then it makes you nervous. Not sure if I should try black tea, or just go, go, go..and hope I'm done. Only UCers would understand my last sentence!

Would one cup of black tea hurt or hinder?

Arrrrhhhhhgggg.

I could never take coffee or tea facing a trip, too excitable for my gut. What I would do is get up extra early and have breakfast early and drink water or decaf tea. Just the anticipation will usually get things going. But after several BM's I'd take an Immodium and Pepcid to calm things down again.

That's my routine. Caffeine is just too stimulating. As much as love it I can't drink it and then leave the house without having a place to stop if needed (which it will be).
