Facial & Abdominal Swelling After Caffeine/Soda: Seeking Answers
QuestionDear sir,
i have went to Doctor after Doctor and i get the same answer. Every time i drink coffee or too much soda pop i get swelling in the face and mid section and water seems to make it fade away. The doctors here in Idaho tell me its allergies and to avoid caffine then hurry me out of the office. Thats not answering my questions.I have been through rigerous allergy testing by sending in blood and have done skin tests and no allergy to caffine comes up. also when i drink a large amount of water or other decaffinated fluid i get a shortness of breath. i am an Air force certified personal trainer and a dietary therapist. I am athletic and in shape but this has got me wondering if i have a liver or blood circulation problem. Please sir if you have any ideas or information it would be greatly oppreciated.
thanks again.

AnswerI have been through rigerous allergy testing by sending in blood and have done skin tests and no allergy to caffine comes up. There are no tests for caffeine since it is similar to naturally occuring neuropeptides. OK?
also when i drink a large amount of water or other decaffinated fluid i get a shortness of breath. This is probably due to hemodilution caused by the excess water.

What are all your blood test and pulmonary test results?
It is more likely nutrient deficiency but the above results should be your key. OK?
