Coffee, likely due to the caffeine, is a natural bowel stimulant, same with tomatoes.

I've had trouble with coffee, decaf and soda for quite awhile, which I guess was all about the CD. Since I'm still not recovered from a flare, I find I have no interest in anything that would make me sick again! Too bad that won't last forever....

Maybe it's not the coffee bugging you so much but the dairy creamer or milk you put in it.  Frappachino is loaded with dairy.  Try a non-dairy creamer or soy creamer and see if that helps.  I can drink coffee but NO dairy with it!  Hope that helps.

Do you guys add sugar and milk in your coffee? White sugar, sweeteners etc. could be a trigger as well as milk......

I couldn't have plain coffee while I had acid problems, but as soon as this disappeared - the coffee was no problem.....

I don't drink coffee because I am mormon, but noticed that many of you mentioned that you have a hard time with soda. What kind of soda is hard on you?  I have found that when I am really having a hard time getting my stomach to calm down, that I can drink a coke and it will really help matters.  I have also found that coke help with nausea and is a lifesaver with my migraines.  The only soda that really gives me any probems is rootbeer, because it seems to bloat me even though I love the taste.

I drink my coffee with a non-dairy creamer and no sugar and to top it all off I dilute my coffee to one part coffee one part water. I find that I need the soda too. It makes me less gassy and bloated then when I don't drink it. I try to have one every other day instead of every day. The Caffeine is really great for headaches and migraines.

From my understanding mormons are not allowed to consume soda either, or anything with caffeine, chocolate and such?

Coffee, I can tolerate. What really affects me the way coffee affects you is BEER. I cannot hava a sip of beer without having to run (run really fast) to the nearest bathroom, where I spend up to an hour  on the throne.

Not a lot of fun. Oh, and I no longer drink beer.
