Nestof3 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I am trying to narrow down my stomach pain. I have a feeling it may be coffee. Lately, I have felt a bloating, gassy, painful feeling. Tomorrow, I am going to cut coffee and see if it helps. Does anyone else have this problem with coffee? :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Err...yes. However, I don't drink coffee very often. I would think your body would be used to it. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nope. Coffee is good. Coffee is my friend. Coffee would never, ever, be so cruel. Could it be dairy? I hope you feel better soon, and I hope it's not the coffee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Tomorrow, I am going to cut coffee and see if it helps. Does anyone else have this problem with coffee? :crying: LOL-- I love Unicorn's answer! Also, you could try switching to decaf to see if that helps -- maybe that holds the small possibility you can still have your coffee & drink it too (hahaha)...

Fourmother Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I don't drink coffee, though dh drinks it occasionally. He cannot drink it on an empty stomach because it causes him to suffer nausea and vomiting. So when he does have coffee, he makes sure to eat a little something first.

CookieMonster Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 A family member not blood related. ;) Interstingly, the only time I get this sort of reaction to food that you describe is after a bowl of Corn Flakes, during a time when I'm eating chocolate. I think it's the milk and the chocolate double punch to my stomach. But, who know, it could just be hormones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I love coffee, but it would irritate my stomach if I drank it and didn't eat soon after. Once I started having gallbladder trouble I gave it up completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Dulcinea Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 regular light roast coffees have more acidity than the medium or dark roast. I have been a heavy coffee drinker since oooo 12yrs old. Late 20s it started irritating my stomach a little so I found coffees with less acidity. So switching to Columbian helped. Also love sumatra, costa rican peaberry.... Do you have a Trader Joe's? They have a lot of good coffees with good prices. French Roast really messes me up so probably stay away from that as well as the super dark roasts. btw, I drink my coffee black which makes me a little more aware of the different in tastes and roasts.

Jami Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have some IBS-like symptoms, no real diagnosis though. And coffee, depending on strength, certainly irritates things. I can drink it, but I need to stay sort of near a bathroom for awhile...:001_huh: Jami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needleroozer Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It is the caffeine for me- I gave up all caffene months ago and am feeling so much better. No stomach pain, no more heartburn. It was totally worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyboys Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It must -- I just saw low-acidity coffee in the coffee aisle recently. The acid might be part of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes, but so far only when I'm pg, & only w/ the last 2 pg's. However, I have a neighbor who used to drink it in college & now (around 30) can't. It bothers her stomach. A lot! So...I'm hoping that's just her, not an age thing. :001_huh: And, fwiw, the *way* it bothers her stomach (& mine when pg) seems far worse than what you've described. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nope. Coffee is good. Coffee is my friend. Coffee would never, ever, be so cruel. Could it be dairy? I hope you feel better soon, and I hope it's not the coffee! Tell that to my mis-wired brain and heart...:crying: I miss it so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Social Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have to agree with the person who said coffee is good. However, it's not my friend:glare: My gastro guy told me to cut back to between 6-16 oz. of coffee (if I could, I should give it up), because it aggravates peoples stomachs. I guess they did a bunch of studies, and found that whether it is full test or decaf, there is some component of coffee that is really irritating. He did say Sanka seems to be safe.

elbac Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I never was much of a coffee drinker until a few years ago. Even then it was decaf. Then I started getting heartburn - which I'd never had except when pregnant. Then it started to get worse, and I realized it was the coffee. So, I don't drink it anymore. Which isn't all bad, because it liked to make me really have to pee! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say Sanka seems to be safe. I don't know any of the brand names off hand, but there is coffee available that has that chemical/ingredient (whatever it is) removed. It's not cheap though. However, I guess if you were a die hard coffee drinker, it would be worth the extra expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes! I can NOT drink coffee at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudmamma Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 For me, if I put cream or milk in my coffee my stomach kills me BUT if I drink it black then my stomach is fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
