I am IBC.. I havent had coffee in over a year Im dying for a small cup. It used to make me regular however the only time it was sadverse is it I was already having Ibs D at the time so do you think a Small 1/2 cup or less would hurt.. Who has coffee now and then??

I would like to say "yes" but I don't. I love coffee as well. The last time I had any, bam, it hit me and my colon stopped completely. I went to the bathroom first, and then, it was just like a rock in my gut. Nothing moved for a day and a half. I was miserable!

Coffee is a no, no. It is a Trigger for most with IBS. I'm sure if you haven't had any in a while, it will almost kill you.

Coffee is very potent with caffeine, and the gut just doesn't like it!!!

I'm so sorry! I wish I could have some too!!!!

Oh, Lynn! How do you do it? I wish I could have some. Just a little! With a little sugar!

Isn't that also a no no question to be asking after all the stuff has 'gone down' on here? I'm sorry, not trying to be a goody-two-shoes, but I don't want to get in trouble!

I quite drinking it for a good 6 months but i didn't feel that the improvement (not much at all) was worth cutting it out. I still felt like crap most days and probably felt worse since i was getting depressed without it. I still take a few days off every now and then but usually i will have one every morning. It makes me go to the bathroom instantly, usually before i even finish the cup.

Im half Italian and was used to drinking a good 5 shots of espresso a day, needless to say this whole IBS and no coffee thing has really got me down. I havent had an espresso in over a year, just the week watery regular brew stuff now.

I wouldn't reccomend drinking it thats for sure. But for me personally i feel this whole healthy diet thing to feel a little better then miserable is just not worth it sometimes. Its one thing if it made me feel great or cured me but i still felt like [censored] most days on it and still do.
