How do most of you handle caffeine? I discovered last year that I could get away with just adding a little bit of caffeinated coffee to my usual decaf in the morning. It really helps with my energy. Then I usually have some chocolate in the afternoon.

If I consume any more than this, I get really nauseous. Can some of you drink caffeine without a problem, or is it usually a big no-no for all of us with GERD?
And do you think I could get away with it for awhile, then it really hurts me?

Caffeine in any amount does not work for me. Almost immediately I get pain. If it does not bother you to put a little caffeinated coffee in with the decaf, then do it. I would tone down the chocolate.

I can sometimes drink a little coffee with caffeine, not much. I feel better drinking green tea with caffeine, a couple of cups per day.

I have problems with caffeine but I love my coffee too much it give it up completely. I have my one cup in the morning. I found that if I eat toast with it, it doesn't bother me as much.

I can't do without coffee, however ill I am! I stick to just one morning coffee. If I'm feeling really good I'll risk another coffee later in the day, but the second one is a luxury I very rarely get away with and I don't often try!

I gave up all caffeine, except my morning coffee. I am sure it isn't helping me feel better with the GERD but it helps me wake up and I love coffee!

I handle caffeine well but I am a Diet Coke addict. 

A 7.5 ounce can of Diet Coke has 28 mg of caffeine; a 7 ounce cup of brewed coffee has 80-135 mg of caffeine.

Just a bit of trivia for you.
