Thanks for catching my attention on this article.tara said:I'm not recommending it for the OP or for all situations, but are you aware that Peat describes coffee more like a vitamin than a toxin?

Well, there are plenty advantages for coffee drinkers when they limit their consummation to 2 or 3 cups 125 ml a day. It’s sure.
But not for people suffering from anxiety or for very few people with an immune-pathology.
When adrenals overload is artificially boosted by coffee, it isn’t “bad” for all other health purposes. It’s just a sign there is a problem there.
By the way, let me tell the other readers this:
Coffee contains caffeine of course, and [highlight=yellow]caffeine contains protein, 10 % of which may cause a cross-reaction with antibodies present by people intolerant to gluten (sensitivity to gluten with cross-reactions).[/highlight]

Second post in French, with testimonies of people in trouble with coffee, chocolate and thee. They all contains alkaloids and theobromine.
Theobromine from chocolate and cocoa acts on the cardiac muscle (pressure) and it expands, it relaxes (This is the case on smooth muscle but not on the heart). But the function of the cardia is to close the esophagus and thus to prevent gastric reflux. I would avoid chocolate in times of crisis.
I had this problem (esophagitis, hiatal hernia); now it's past, except very rarely ... I then adapt myself to the situation...
But for most people, coffee is ok, when they do not suffer from unbalance diet, when they do not suffer from an acid-base imbalance, anxiety ...

PS2: Alkaloid is often considered as a way of defence from plants.
