I am so sick of folgers.

Can anyone recommend a UC-friendly coffee?

Thanks.

There's no such thing.

All a matter of taste and how you feel when you drink it.

I have a Keurig coffee maker and use Green mountain Half-Caff.
Don't put any sugar in my coffee but do use low fat half&half.
I have a cup in the morning to get my bowels cleaned out !!
I even made a cup of iced coffee the other day and it didn't bother my UC turn

Lately Tarrazu medium dark roast from Trader Joe's. Like the above poster said..it "cleans my bowels out."

I add half and half and raw cane sugar.

I've been drinking starbucks vanilla. I don't think any are better than any other as far as UC goes.

Do those of you giving legit answers realize the OP is a troll?

"Do those of you giving legit answers realize the OP is a troll?"

I didn't, and you're probably right. They didn't capitalize "Folgers," and that should be a first clue they are either uneducated, very young, stupid, or all three!

It's not because of that....the username is DerangedPotOfCoffee and the signature is "NiceCupOfTea's archnemesis." So it's clearly someone who is trying to poke at NCOT.

Try not to see the glass of coffee as half empty fruitgirl.

It is always half full. :)

This username is a homage to NCOT. I am honored to be her second stalker (and her archnemesis).

Trader Joes.

Hey that is close by. I might check that out.

Thank you.

What happened to plantainboy? Is this the same person?

If you have UC, don't drink coffee, period.

I drink coffee (1-2 cups, depending on the day) every day, with no apparent ill effects. I don't think there's any one food/beverage that all UCers must avoid.

And some perfectly good threads get locked and this one doesn't??

Well, these folks did suggest some coffee to me.

I don't think it warrants getting a thread locked but to each their own.

I miss coffee so much. sad It's the hardest thing I've had to give up, hands down. For me, I'm pretty sure it's the caffeine that does me in.

Can anyone recommend a good decaf? I've been trying different ones since I was diagnosed, and haven't found anything acceptable yet. I can even smell the difference between real coffee and decaf. Unfortunately, I'm in a somewhat rural area and don't have access to Trader Joes and such.

I just want to have a cup after dinner once in awhile and pretend that things are normal.

You raise an interesting point. I have considered trying coffee, but I am a little hesitant to rock the boat.

According to Dave Asprey (bulletproof exec), most of mainstream coffee is supposedly riddled with mycotoxins, so I would think that getting the right brand (decaf or not) is important for us UCers.

Best.

When flaring even decaf was hated by my gut but I kept trying and finally found one my gut liked: Newman's Own Special Decaf. I think they process the beans differently. Did you know that getting coffee de-caffed involves some bad chemicals?

Now in remission I am ratcheted up to half-real and half-decaf, all Newman's Own. One cup per morning, when I get greedy and have 2 cups there is hell to pay. I trust them.

I'll keep that in mind imagardner. I believe the processing (chemical residues, mycotoxins, etc) plays some role on whether I will be able to "stomach" it or not. Thanks.

Puroast Low Acid coffee doesn't bother my IBS as much as regular coffee. I drink the House Blend.
