My doctor says that giving up caffeine may help my heartburn. The thing is, I don't drink coffee so I don't have to worry, right

It is so easy to consume large amounts of caffeine and not be aware of it. Drink coffee, add an energy drink, chew a piece of energy gum and you may forget about eating real nutritious food -- after all, you’ve got a buzz on and have plenty of energy. Who needs to eat? So instead of healthy food selections, you’re buzzing along on caffeine-spiked products often enhanced with the herbals ginseng and guarana which have a caffeine-like affect. Here’s the potential for a double or triple whammy. For someone who is caffeine sensitive or not used to much caffeine, the effects of these herbals added to the caffeine may not be pleasant.
