Proper Wild ad: Why coffee hits your gut like a meal

I've faked a bad Wi-Fi connection on three video calls this month, and every time it was because of my coffee. "Sorry, you're breaking up," I say, then click off and run down the hall. It starts about 20 minutes after the first cup with a low churn that turns into a cramp, and that's when the math begins. I'm calculating how long until the next agenda item, and whether anyone will notice if my camera goes dark for five minutes. On office days I know which floor has the empty bathroom, and last month I walked out of a client lunch pretending to take a call. By 2PM I'm fading, so I pour another cup, and my stomach starts the whole cycle over, sour and bloated, right before my 3PM. Then I lie awake with a churning stomach and a heart still going at midnight, wondering why "just coffee" feels like this. Dairy, gluten and stress all took the blame, and then I found a 1998 study that put the real answer in my mug. One cup set off colon activity as strong as a 1,000-calorie meal, and 60% stronger than the same amount of hot water. So three cups a day is my gut sitting down to three extra meals, two of them before I've eaten breakfast. No wonder the churn shows up at the same hour on every workday. I kept the caffeine and changed what it comes in. Proper Wild Energy Gummies have no coffee in them at all, because the caffeine comes from green tea. One packet is 100mg of caffeine, the same as one cup of coffee, with 120mg of L-theanine for smooth energy with reduced jitters. It kicks in within 15 to 30 minutes and lasts 4 to 6 hours, and each gummy is 25mg, so I started with two. I chew them between calls, and they taste like fruit snacks. Lauren, a verified buyer: "Coffee upsets my stomach so I am so glad I found my new energy source!" Last week I sat through a two-hour client workshop with my camera on the entire time.
