Caffeine is like a drug you have to wean yourself off of IMO. I don't recommend going cold turkey. First either make it weaker or use the 50/50 decaf kind, then switch to caffeinated tea, then switch to rooibos tea and then to truly herbal tea with no kick or another decaf drink. Also drink lots of water to help the headaches. I am referring to the morning caffeine urge and not what to drink later in the day when someone with IBS is benefitted by herbal teas.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
