    Feel jittery or queasy after coffee? Caffeine might be the sneak behind your stomach woes, but you can outsmart it. Let’s explore how caffeine messes with your gut and how beginners can keep the buzz without the fuss!

    ➡️ Caffeine’s Kick: It revs your nervous system, but too much irritates your stomach, speeds up digestion, or even acts like a laxative. That “gotta go” feeling? Blame caffeine overload.
    💡 Lingering Effects: A single cup’s caffeine lingers for hours—half is still in your blood after 5-6 hours! This can amplify jitters, making your stomach feel worse, especially if you sip on empty.
    Gentle Alternatives: Try decaf to test if caffeine’s the issue. Low-caffeine beans or half-caff blends ease you into calmer sips. Pair coffee with food to buffer its punch.

    🔍 Beginner’s Hack: Cutting back? Go slow to dodge withdrawal woes like nausea. Start by swapping one cup for decaf. You’ll still enjoy coffee’s vibe without the gut-grumbling side effects.

    Ready to tweak your intake? Swap one coffee for a lower-caffeine option. How did it change your stomach’s mood?
