Yes, I sure did find that out the hard way. I had a hot coffee at McDonald's late one evening and I kept getting up all night long. And it was Decaf!!
Decaf tea is even worse. Watermelon does the same thing. If I eat a banana in the evening, that will do it too.
Now I just read that celery acts like a diuretic too. I'm going to stop eating it and see if that helps.
Water: Cold water from a drinking fountain will usually be a problem. But if I drink a large glass of ice water at Golden Corral with a big meal, it doesn't have any effect. It's just cold water on an empty stomach that bothers me.
