You don't have symptoms with it? You may have given me some hope.

Sorry, I'm of no help. I used to drink only 1 cup of each morning but gave it up a while ago. It wasn't that hard for me to do so I wasn't willing to take any chances.

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 will have a cup of coffee sometimes after I've gone to the bathroom and feel pretty stable. 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!

Yes, I am wanting to incorporate it back it. 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.
