Searching on line for a low acid coffee there was one sight I kept coming up with.  I don't know if I can mention the brand.  Has anyone found a GOOD low acid coffee to drink?  Boy, I miss my morning coffee.

Since I had asthma I took theodur which contains theophilline, very similar to caffeine. My doc and my GI doc and local pharmacists says it's the caffeine, not the coffee which is not good. Caffeine in tea, soda, hot chocolate, etc. I am trying to give up caffeine, but find I am not doing well in terms of energy. So, I'm down to 1 or 2 cups a day and drink decaffeinated stuff. However, I saw a lot of controversy on the net. Some seem to think decaf has MORE problems to it.

Hi Hamie,

   Since I was thinking I had IBS, then Celiac, now Crohns..maybe..but after all this, I now after my CT Scan, I think I have a problem with my Colon (narrowed Distal illeum) is what the doc told me today,along with Enlarged,Multop;ele Lymph nodes in my Groin area....Oh oh, Too Much information.....So I might need surgery...anyway...Don't know where you live but TRADER JOES MARKET had a Low acid coffee. I think maxwell house or folders now makes a Low acidic Coffee too.  I stopped the coffee and alchohol because of my abdominal pain,but through this website I heard that the darker the bean, the less caffein, and the less acid you digest. SOOOOOOO..I drink Dark Roast,or Sumatra,Exspresso even and haven't a problem....yet.

   I know what is is NOT to wake up with a good cup of mud,but pleeze be careful you don't over do it and harm yourself or get uncomfortable.

  Sorry I haven't been much help.  Take care, Jim

Thanks Jim for the advice that Trader Joe's may have low acid coffee. Actually I live in NY and there is a Traders five minutes from my home.  I checked out my local supermarkets and there was no Folgers Low Acid coffee anywhere.  I read that they came out with it but I just can't seem to locate the product. Very weird. But again thanks for the heads up on Trader Joes.
