Well I'm pretty moderate in my caffeine use. Partly because my stomach doesn't like most stuff that contains it - for example, I can drink about 1/3rd cup of (watered down) coffee a day before my GI system starts to feel like a warzone of pain.

I've a regular GI doctor, and we just completed the scopes down my throat and up - well, the other end. And they said everything looks good, no polyps to remove, they aren't even sure I really have diverticulitis, which another doctor said I probably did have.

So, I think it's weird also that I still get throbbing headaches if I go without caffeine - but I get headaches every day, so maybe the problems between my ears (a lot of people would probably agree with that assessment).

Lol, I hear that. I certainly have plenty of my own.

I also don't drink much caffeine at all, in fact, most days I have none. I find it messes with my sleep, and if I have more than a medium-sized soda in a short amount of time, I get a bit jittery. I mostly just drink it when I need to be more alert, like if I'm driving late at night or something.

Anyway, good luck, hopefully you figure out what's causing issues.

Thanks for the well wishes, I know what you mean about having trouble sleeping - most nights I simply don't fall asleep for several hours after going to bed. And then, my dreams are usually all very unpleasant nightmares.

So I don't really rest well anyway. Perhaps I'm the #1 candidate for "don't give this person any sugar or caffeine!"
