HI,I've had IBS-D 9 months. I am also a coffee holic(big time)I have a sign next to my coffee pot that says " I haven't had my coffee yet,don't make me kill you " I'm only telling you what I did, I'm not saying you should do the same.When my IBS-D started. I got Heather's book and fiber. I got herbal coffee( 3 different kinds,and tea)I missed my coffee,I tried to wean myself by slowly adding my coffee to the herbal.That was 6 months ago.I follow the IBS diet to the letter,as far as food goes and smoothies and Tummy fiber 3 times a day.I was so depressed because I just missed my coffee!!! Some things trigger some people and others not. I got some 1/2 decafe and made a pot of coffee, using less coffee and more water.I found out it dosn't bother me. And I'm less stressed having my coffee.When I first get up I take my Tummy fiber and munch on dry cereal while my coffee is brewing.And stick to the IBS diet.I find I can have my 1/2 decafe in the morning and afternoon.Everyone of us is different in some ways.I can have a safe meal and have an attack,or a pot of coffee and be fine.( WHO KNOWS )I know my husband is happy I can drink coffee again I know how you feel and I wish you good luck.
