[QUOTE="Ryhia, post: 2229571, member: 503862"] Years ago I went to the docs 'cos I used to get heart palpitations and the shakes, he asked me how many coffees I drank a day which at the time was a lot, then he told me I should cut it down, I reduced my coffee intake, started drinking tea at work and moved over to decaf and the.palpitations went. More recently when first dx I was on 800 cals a day diet, in my ignorance I thought rather than drink water for my hydration, I would drink tea and coffee (both decaf) not realizing that there was some caffeine in decaf. Got really bad palpitations, chest pains the lot, which at first they thought was atrial fibrillation but turned out to be an ectopic heartbeat. By time I got the results I had researched and found out that decaf contains caffeine and that it was probably the caffeine that was the problem. I cut back on both and now try to limit myself to very weak tea but less of, as don't like water much nor carbonated drinks. Palpitations have reduced a lot but I know when I have overdone it. I think I was also a little wheat intolerant used to get terribly bloated but never understood why as tried to eat a healthy diet. When I went low carb one of the amazing things was the beneficial effect it had on my gut. [/QUOTE]
