Owl,

Past caffeine tolerance does not mean you still have a tolerance for caffeine. The slow accumulation of the toxins from caffeine metabolism can reach critical mass. Add anxiety and other stresses and the brain can get quite polluted.

Are you taking any meds for anxiety or any other condition. I am on a med that causes the abdominal spasms in waves.

I have also experienced strange abdominal and gastric symptoms after injuring my back splitting firewood. It healed up but is occasionally a recurring injury. A good physical therapist or chiropractor has been useful.



Sue, I am surprised your doctor has not warned you about artificial sweeteners. Aspartame can be a very toxic substance for sensitive brains. Any kind of toxic or semi-toxic foods can strain the body resulting in nutritional deficiencies for the brain. I was warned to avoid alcohol and excito-toxins by my neuro back in 1971.
