Snip.

Coffee is one of the biggest problems - We think because of all the liquid
we can drink as much coffee as we want. Not true. Coffee as with alcohol
although for different reasons will dehydrate a person terribly. Next tome
you're at the drug store -look at a package of OTC water pills and look at
the ingredients - ready? Caffeine.


One of the primary reason for a flair up is not enough liquid to flush the
crap from your system.
