It wasn't that hard for me to do so I wasn't willing to take any chances. -------------------- IBS-C, bloating, cramps pregnant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: tolerate coffee or decaf coffee?       #328518 - 04/19/08 09:58 PM Edit Reply Quote Unregistered I wish I could but my answer is, sadly, no. I miss it terribly. Besides messing with my digestion and bloating me out to ends of the earth, it disturbs me on an energetic level. My body just...can't. Are you hoping to reincorporate it?

I don't normally drink it if I have to go somewhere. I work from home so I take my chances at times. It does make me go though. I won't have it if I'm already going too much. I'm an IBS-D. Did you used to drink coffee and now wonder if you can have a bit? I'd try it when you know you can stay home!

Not often....maybe one cup every other day? But then I may want more. I am wanting to try Simply Smooth Decaf simply smooth I actually bought some and had a cup....and it tasted so good. I still have symptoms despite being restrictive EFI for years...So, I figure, I might as well have things I like and have the symptoms. FEAR is that symptoms will get even worse. I only need my heating pad every 2 or 3 days instead of every night...but that may be due to me eating Gluten free also. So, I may stay GF and start "testing the waters". Coffee does not make me have D ..... and I am a chronic C...but I have read that coffee can cause spasms which might make me more C. Then, I also have pain and major bloat. Anyhow, I want to be able to drink this so very badly. I'm tired of missing out on so many little pleasures. I can't do the subs for coffee because they either contain gluten, soy, or inulin...all of which off limits for me. I never thought it might cause bloating. -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Aren't you all sick of herbal tea?       #328578 - 04/21/08 08:48 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 I have had it up to my eyeballs with herbal tea and water as my only options. I'm not into rice milk. I figure this coffee would be better than soda with all the carbonation and gas. Plus, I miss coffee more! -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Seriously?

I've switched to a cup of Peppermint tea in the afternoon. If you're feeling brave, give it a whirl but like the others suggested, try it when you know you'll be at home! Good luck and let us know!

I used to drink 3 in a.m. and then a coffee drink in the p.m. so 2 is an adjustment. I LOVE coffee too. I do drink coffee with soy milk and real sugar rather than creamer/dairy and Splenda. I am not doing so well though so I will probably have to cut coffee out or try the 1/2 caff. 1/2 decaf brand and see if the small amount is okay. I don't wanna (temper tantrum breaks out!!!). -------------------- Meet my sweet dog Marley!

To sweeten, I add agave nectar or use natural sugar in the raw. Ginger is great for digestion. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
