Hi there, In recent years I've developed a chronic sore throat caused by drinking coffee or tea  even in small amounts. I've tried many variations including green tea, decaf all to no avail. I've lost 18 kg's from dieting, reducing my daily beer intake and I walk 90 minutes every morning around 6am. Has any others came a cross this problem and if so what substitute drink do they use. I suppose the perfect answer is water but I only drink water on a need to basis.

It seems you are sure it's about coffee and tea.

Solution: avoid coffee and tea!

try 6-8 Gin & Tonics every day ....  you'll soon forget about your sore throat.

Thread should be in the Health forum. No Pattaya allergy.

 

Coffee (even decaf) AND tea?

How do you prepare the coffee?

What type of coffee? (instant, grounded, whole beans)

Previously, in my younger days, I ran 5-10 miles daily.  Occasionally I too would get a sore throat and

then I read a healthline note...dehydration can do just that.  Then everytime I got or even now get a

sore throat I can usually think about my daily habits and drink water!  sore throat goes away!

Just saying...also daily beer will dehydrate one even easier.  A healthy lifestyle with daily alcohol

negates any positive actions!  even a small amount.  Just saying...latest studies indicate that no matter

how much or how little, regular alcohol drinks are NOT healthy.

 

You are drinking pollution 

You may have histamine intolerance.   Google it.

Does drinking Ice coffee, or tea do the same? Maybe it is hot drinks. A year or so back I read that drinking hot coffee caused throat cancer, but was later it was noted that hot drinks of any kind could do the same. Maybe you are more sensitive to hot drinks.

Probably acid reflux getting you at night

I have a small hiatus hernia that sometimes replicates the symptoms of a sore throat - dry - rasping - a catch in the voice - some catarrh at the back of the throat.

 I've lived with mine for many years now without it worsening and I've not noticed a connection with hot drinks but it might be worth your while to check it out.  

 

 

Where are you sourcing the water that you use? It might be that. Not what you are adding to it.

A lot of coffee can be "mouldy" and ultra-sensitive people can react to it. If that is the case, look for a non-mouldy coffee. Bulletproof brand coffee is probably the best-known / most widely available mould-free coffee.

 

As a long shot, you might have SIBO or SIFO (bacterial / yeast overgrowth) which can cause histamine intolerance and that in turn can cause food sensitivities whereby your body reacts to food that you used to tolerate just fine.

NEGATIVE,  when over 25  when I go outside, I wear an N95 or N99 mask, over 100 I don't do anything outside.  House has an air purifier in every room which we use every day the AQI goes over 25.  

You will find a lot of information on websites devoted to histamine intolerance.  There are conflicting opinions as to whether it can be cured or not.  Another possibility is that you may have C. Difficile. There are antibiotics to treat that and I am taking one right now.  I also take Prevacid to keep the acidity of my stomach low.  With a hiatal hernia I must keep the reflux into my throat mild.

 

Also, I recently found that some of my allergic symptoms appear to be caused by the E. Coli pneumonia in the lower left lobe of my lung.   It’s proving to be a tough bug to kill.  It’s resistant to many antibiotics.  I may need another hospitalization and more IV antibiotics to kill it.  Pneumonia is easily discovered by a chest x-ray.  I have one every two weeks.   It’s not easy to be an 80-year-old senior citizen.

Well done son! ????

NONE here ,, try decaff or  green at at low temps

If coffee and tea makes you sick the solution would be: don't drink coffee and tea.
Water, Orange juice, beer, there are many good choices.
If you need the caffeine in the morning: buy caffeine tablets

Seems topic starter has overcome his allergies

Don't ride a dead horse.
