Drinks: A part of our culture, but what about the ingredients?
If you’re feeling a bit under the weather, and caffeine isn’t doing the trick, then it may be because you have an allergy or intolerance to caffeine. As one of the key ingredients in coffee and tea, caffeine is a common culprit in causing more harm to your body than good. If your symptoms are regular and persist, then you likely have an allergy or intolerance to caffeine.
Many people need that caffeine boost in the morning or evening to set them up perfectly for the day or to start a task. Although caffeine is often the cause of an allergy or intolerance, sometimes people overlook it as a potential culprit, often associating the milk that is added to the drink as a culprit.
If you are unsure if you are either lactose intolerant or have an allergy or intolerance to caffeine, then the best solution is to take a test with Test Your Intolerance, putting your mind at rest and free from worry. Caffeine may be a necessity for some but it could be having a serious impact on your daily health and could be the reason for the very fatigue you are trying to fight!
The Impact
Caffeine is often required to wake us up in the morning. This is a common consensus for many because we often feel tired and fatigued. But have you considered whether or not your fatigue is caused by your consumption of caffeine and other potential ingredients? Naturally, if you are having caffeine to wake you up, it may be causing you to become even more tired, as your body may not be able to tolerate it anymore. Other symptoms of an allergy or intolerance include weight gain, migraines and skin irritations and can often be linked to a caffeine allergy or a caffeine intolerance.
