Hi
I'm new to this forum and having done a search and not finding an answer I wondered what you all had to drink instead of coffee. I was able to tolerate capuccino (using a 1/4 the recommended amount but since my last attack I've not been able to tolerate it. I have bought Bambu coffee substitute but am not sure if this is ok for heathers diet. Here's a link to show what I mean.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bambu-instant-coffee-substitute-200g/dp/B003OJ149U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344196239&sr=8-1
hope that's ok
thanks for your help
Carol

Bambu Coffee Substitute contains: Rye, chicory, barley, malted barley, figs, acorns. Contains gluten

Chicory is the same as inulin. It is a rapidly fermenting soluble fiber that causes gas and bloating in many individuals with IBS. You will have to experiment to see if it is okay for you.

Thanks everso much Syl, that would explain why I still didn't feel right tummy wise after drinking them!
I didn't realise chicory was bad as well.
best wishes
Carol
