Jennylynn143 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 First of all, I was surprised that coffee is allowed on Whole30 since it is usually cut out for most detox regimens, but there would be a lot of people that would have trouble with that exclusion I'm sure! My husband would not have been on board for 30 days of no coffee! Anyway, I was drinking very little coffee pre-W30--maybe 2x per week if that. With little beverage options, I started having coffee daily. I previously posted about constipation issues. I decided to try taking a break from coffee to see if that would help. I had a horrible headache the day I cut it out, but constipation issues completely disappeared. Hmm Anyone else have that experience? Wondering how much coffee I should drink in a week.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted August 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2014 I tend to have the opposite experience with coffee/constipation issues, so no help there. There is the Whole9 Coffee Manifesto you might find interesting. There are also other posts in the forum about coffee, if you want other takes on it -- like this one.

GoJo09 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Interesting correlation. But I can't believe you had to start drinking coffee because there were no other options! What about all the herbal teas out there?! Rooibos with vanilla is the bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendelina Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Maybe this is overly paranoid, but I've read a few articles saying that ground coffee may not be 100% coffee due to drought conditions in Brazil. Here's one article: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/08/12/your-coffee-may-not-be-just-coffee/ So maybe the coffee you are drinking is not just coffee? (Also: this phenomenon freaks me out. Why can't we just have foods that are exactly what they say they are?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 With little beverage options, I started having coffee daily. There are several beverages options listed in this Quench Your Thirst Whole30 article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
