I MISS COFFEE SO MUCH.

Luthy · March 2013

Sorry for the shouting, but THAT IS HOW MUCH I MISS COFFEE.

Before anyone tells me to suck it up and make some damn coffee, I promise I'm not crazy! I don't think a fingerful of feta will kill my unborn baby.

The problem is that my body has decided that coffee (even decaf) is a huge nono. It gives me severe stomach pains and then epic diarrhea. But I want it so badly! I keep trying just a little bit to see if it's gotten better yet but even a few sips causes problems. The only other thing I have such a problem with is tofu, but I've developed a severe aversion to it so it isn't a problem. Why couldn't I develop an aversion to coffee too if my body was going to react this way?!

Sigh.

Sorry, I just had to whine. I'm in a whiny mood this morning.

Ugh poor you! I have it occasionally when I'm exhausted at work and then its only a small cup and rather weak. Although I still eat feta cheese, I love the stuff! I do make sure its pasteurized though.

I was the same way when I was pregnant with DS and it sucked. Have you tried drinking it at different times during the day. With DS it would make me barf if I drank it in the morning but sometimes I could have a small bit in the afternoon with no issues.

That sucks. Sorry. Have you tired watering it down, not making it as strong, or adding a lot of milk?

I've developed the same problem with soda.

Ok I have this same problem but it's only when I drink strong coffee. If I get some at the cafeteria at work I don't have the terrible side effects. I know how much it sucks though. Maybe try a iced cofee really watered down?

Sadly, I have tried all the things y'all suggested. I even tried about half a shot of regular drip decaf in a 16 oz cup of milk so you could barely even taste it and had the same problem. The smell drives me batty because I want it so badly! I'm trying to satisfy myself with chocolate milk but it just isn't the same!

EDIT: Hot chocolate, not chocolate milk. THIS IS WHY I NEED COFFEE.

I've been on decaf for over a year anyway -- it's not even the caffeine I need -- I just need COFFEE!

My baby does not like coffee. I do so I still suffer. I given up a lot but I can't go without my coffee.

You're a braver woman than I. Maybe if I didn't have to spend half an hour in the bathroom every time I try....

Oh wow! Your body has turned against you. That sucks! What about coffee flavored candy?

I wish coffee helped me in that dept. Tmi, sorry.

What about other warm, satisfying drinks? Have you ever tried Chai tea or a Chai latte? Yum.

Haha, I saw the title and thought to myself "good grief, why doesn't she just have some damn coffee then?!"

That sucks that it makes you feel sick. Decaf isn't any better?

Haha, I knew people would think that! But I promise I'm not crazy!

Decaf is just as bad, sadly.

Chai is delicious... maybe I will have to try that and see if it can satisfy the craving a little bit.

OMG.

I know what I am doing tonight.

5 o clock seems very far away right now.

Awww, I hear you! Coffee and I were NOT friends for the first 16 weeks or so. I had to give it up completely. I'm so happy we have managed to find our way back to each other, though, I was a zombie when I couldn't have any at all.

LOL ? I think I'm the only person that's been on here long enough to remember "a fingernail full of feta". Hysterical.
