Is Decaf just as good as Reg. coffee for asthma?

Question

I've heard/read many articles on how coffee/caffeine is beneficial in the alleviation of mild to moderate asthma symptoms.

I'm wondering if decaf would have any benefits as well?

Being that decaf isn't 100% caffeine free, and that coffee contains other chemicals aside from caffeine that can also be thought of as having mild stimulative effects.

Also I have anxiety/panic disorder, and I have to try to avoid caffeine at all costs.

Thanks.

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.

If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.

The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.

Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).

You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.

For me, that relies upon. If the coffee is made with grounds i'm no longer able to tell the adaptation. i will tell a distinction with different manufacturers of coffee. Now if the decaf is made with prompt coffee, then definite, there's a considerable distinction in the style. additionally I even have traded out reg coffee for decaf (I poured the decaf grounds right into a reg floor empty coffee tin) and different coffee drinkers ought to no longer tell the adaptation.

For me, that relies. If the coffee is made with grounds I can not tell the difference. I can tell a difference with the different manufacturers of coffee. Now if the decaf is made with on the spot coffee, then sure, there's a primary difference within the taste. Also i have traded out reg espresso for decaf (I poured the decaf grounds into a reg floor empty coffee tin) and other espresso drinkers would no longer tell the change.
