How much caffeine do you guys consume? I think I have asked this before but can't find it. I don't drink coffee so I have a diet coke with breakfast. Then when I got back to work full time I found I needed a boost around 2pm so I have another. Usually that is it for the day. I have not noticed a down side thus far. Just enough pick me up I guess. I know with Raynaud's and SD in general we are not supposed to use caffeine, I just wondered what your experiences have been. Do you feel any ill effects from caffeine?

I need/enjoy 2 good-sized mugs of coffee each morning. Occasionally, I will have another in the afternoon, but it just does not hit the spot like those first ones do! I haven't been into diet pop for quite some time; full-sugar pop was never an option!! I like eating my calories! I don't really notice any changes in how I feel with or without the caffeine, unless, of course, it is too close to bedtime... Oh, and it doesn't do my GERD any favors later in the day, either!

My take is much on caffeine is same as yours Christel. When I added the second soda in the PM I did not perceive any uptick in my Raynaud's. I was afraid I would pay the price and I do enjoy the extra little boost to get me through the day. I have been drinking the diet for years and now don't like the taste of high test soda and like you I have to stay away from it late in the day.
