Why no caffeine?
They were selling Folgers Decaf single serving packets in my grocery store, but now they only sell the caffeinated. Check your grocery store, they may stock them. Now I buy them when I go to the US (I stock up). You can also buy Via Decaf in single serving from Starbucks (a bit pricey). The restaurant where I go every week has single serve Sanka. I will ask them where they get it.

as everyone has stated, it can dehydrate and it can lead to ulcers -- good plan on cutting back its not easy! i have an ulcer -- i drink decaf all the time UNLESS i havent been to the washroom in a few days, i grab a medium timmies and im good!! BUT that being said it really irritates the ulcer when i have a regular coffee... to me, now its NOT worth it!!!!

this whole journey thus far is an adjustment!! everything is done one step at a time. im just over four months out and im finding i have to adjust to new things all the time. i try not to get overwhelmed or defeated, just learn to work with what i need to do and that is when i am most successful!!! again, good luck on your journey :)
