Truth be told, it seem that everybody responds to food items differently. Some things that stand out in my mind are nuts and assorted nut products. Then there are people who could consume just about anything.

I know that one of my most “triggering” food items is good old caffeine. My body does a good job of telling me when I have consumed too much caffeine. I get some brutal “caffeine headaches”, just to name one side effect.

But being honest here, it would be really difficult for me to start the day without that proverbial morning “cup of coffee”. There’s just something special, or should I really say stimulating, about that first cup. I truly don’t believe I could function without it.

But in reality, I truly pay the price for drinking this coffee and even teas in the morning. I know that there are researchers out there who are deeming “caffeine addiction” as a unique disorder that does exist. This doesn’t make me feel any better about my caffeine consumption.

Speaking only for myself, I know if I don’t get my caffeine jolt in the morning and throughout the course of the day, I can be a different person. Associates as well as family members say I am a bit “cranky”, and seem to have a short fuse. I tend to disagree, but I am not on the outside looking in.

If it wasn’t for those pounding caffeine headaches I have, and a bit of the jitters, I probably wouldn’t have any side effects at all. But then again, who wants to deal with them all day. So perhaps there is some truth to this “caffeine withdrawal” disorder they have been speaking about.

What we do have to remember is that everybody is different. Caffeine may not bother you as it does me. Checking with a physician is always a good idea if you are having any symptoms. I know for me it would be a tough thing to give up. But if less side effects is a goal, I just might have to concede.
