I'm pretty sure I'm not alone- coffee is harrassing me. can't have it more than a day or 2 or it bothers. what are you gals/guys doing instead?

Coffee has always bothered me but I refuse to give it up! LOL I have many gut issues and I have already eliminated so much from my diet but coffee is the one thing that I won't give away.

Have you seen the half and half coffee? I think Folger's makes it. It's half caffeine and half decaf. Perhaps that can be an alternative?

Oh, that's an idea. I'll have to try it- thanks!

mellshare- Coffee has been my biggest trigger. I went off of it and drank Celestial Seasonings' Morning Thunder tea for a while (2 tea bags), maybe 2-3 months. Then I started drinking low acid coffee. It has helped tremendously, but it is not nearly as delicious as regular coffee. I do still have some bad mornings, but the low-acid coffee has definitely helped. I order mine on amazon, but my local grocery store sells it too. Trader Joe's sells their own but I'm not a big fan of theirs.

two years ago I could NOT drink coffee. I use to drink lattes with the wife..for about 7 years. then My failure...of the stomach.. NO more... Today my Akkermansia is high 13 percent people with low immune systems are usually under 2% I credit this bacteria in changing my health and crohns/ colitis.. I also have less food intolerances now JUST SOY... and I milk...I now can drink coffee lattes with almond milk...

My american gut scan showed I had what more Verrucomicrobia bacteria --Akkermansia .

Please tell me which low acid coffee you get; I'll try it!! Thanks much!

I use Puroast, House Blend. I can buy it at Kroger stores in town, but I usually order on Amazon. I tasted my sister in law's real coffee the other day and it was AMAZING, but hurt my stomach. The Puroast definitely gets me through, gives me the caffeine I need and does its job.
