Yes - decaff coffee can be a trigger. See the FAQ which states "Coffee (even decaf) is a powerful GI tract irritant, and can have the same effect." The trigger list says "Coffee ~ both regular AND decaf contain an enzyme that's an extremely powerful GI tract irritant. Go cold turkey today and drink herbal teas instead." Although I have never seen a credible reference to the existence of such an enzyme. Enzymes are made of proteins that are usually easily broken down in the stomach before they reach the intestine and colon.

Good luck
