Claire Foy, the acclaimed actress known for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in 'The Crown', has revealed that giving up caffeine helped rid her body of a parasitic infestation she had been suffering from for over five years. The 41-year-old star opened up about her experience on the 'Table Manners' podcast, where she discussed how she developed stomach parasites during a trip to Morocco.
Foy described her condition as "gross" and revealed that not only did she experience weight loss, but also felt like she had a pair of unwanted hitchhikers. The doctor's assessment was blunt: "They travel as a pair." She opted against using hardcore antibiotics instead opting for dietary changes, including cutting back on her notorious caffeine habit.
The relationship between caffeine and parasitic infections is not well-documented, however research suggests that high levels of caffeine may affect the gut microbiome, potentially exacerbating certain types of infestations. One study even found that caffeine can extend the lifespan of worms in their natural habitat. It's likely for the best that Foy reined in her 15 cups a day habit.
Experts generally recommend no more than two to four cups of tea per day, as excessive consumption can raise cardiovascular risks. While moderate amounts are unlikely to cause problems, Foy's past record suggests it's worth reassessing one's caffeine intake. Even if you don't currently have a parasitic issue, maintaining a healthy caffeine habit may be the best way to avoid any potential negative consequences.

i mean 15 cups of coffee a day is no joke! anyone who drinks that much caffeine is asking for trouble 
i'm not saying it's going to give you worms or anything but seriously think about toning it down some. i know its hard to cut back when u're used to it but trust me its worth it. i've been trying to reduce my own caffeine intake and honestly its made a huge difference 
my energy levels are way more stable and im not as anxious all the time. plus, cutting back on coffee has saved me so much money 
now if u'll excuse me i'm gonna go brew myself a nice cuppa but only 2 cups max 
. I mean, who knew it could cause unwanted hitchhikers? 
Claire Foy's experience is wild, but also kinda scary. Guess you should recheck that daily cup of joe 
️. Two to four cups is probably safe, right? 
and still managed to land more roles than I can shake a stick at. On a serious note, I never knew caffeine could be so toxic (in moderation, obvs). Who knew it could make your gut worms wanna hitch a ride? 
At least she went the dietary route instead of blasting her insides with antibiotics. Can we all just take a cue from Claire and reassess our caffeine habits? I mean, 15 cups a day is like, a lot... maybe it's time to dial it back to 2-4 cups and live our best lives 
seriously tho, it's crazy how our bodies can react differently to the same thing. I've had my share of stomach issues too (think bad batch of probiotics) but never thought it was related to caffeine 
so this is def a learning experience for me! cut back on the coffee and tea, maybe? 
. I'm not saying it's impossible, but 15 cups of coffee per day is just crazy talk! 
Foy's story is kinda wild, like something out of a true crime podcast 
. The more I think about it, the more I'm questioning if this is even a real thing or just some actress trying to be relatable 
. Either way, she seems to have dodged a bullet by cutting back on her caffeine habit 
. I mean, who needs all that extra energy when you can just have a decent night's sleep 
? Anyway, it's definitely food for thought (pun intended) about our daily caffeine intake 
.
