I don’t know your medical reasons, but caffeine in general has caused me to go to the ED at least 7 times with inconclusive results. Ekg, halter monitor, cardiac event monitor, follow up with a cardiologist. No answers. But whatever it was, avoiding caffeine has stopped those events from happening completely. I tried going the decaf route and did for a while, but with time, I learned I can’t trust the roulette of going anywhere for coffee and trusting the decaf is actually decaf. (Hence the 7 trips to the ed). I miss it and don’t at the same time. This made me want to risk coffee again.
Brew it at home if you miss it! Ive never had an issue with bagged decaf.
As for getting it out, I dont go to any of the big coffee chains. They tend not to be as careful. If I go to my local coffee places I just ask them after theyre done if they made it decaf. I explain its because caffeine can send me to the hospital. Theyve always been really good about it.

Thats my best advice.
