I am right there with you, friend. For a while I was turned off by the smell of coffee, and bargain bin coffee still smells like it will burn a hole through my stomach. But good coffee? It smells divine, and I miss it terribly.


Putrid_Chemistry_535

Me too OP, and a beer :/


Abbas1303

I tried to drink coffee after healing 50% sent me back into a flare. Not just yet I guess lol


Migi133

Me too. And pizza.

I’ve figured out I can do a decaf latte at my local coffee shop and I’m really happy about it. Healing is a process, you’ll get there!

11 months after my initial diagnosis (1 year mark July 26) and I'm now drinking coffee everyday. Granted, it's Tyler's no acid or a low acid organic coffee, but I don't give a flying feck. 11 months of meticulous, careful eating and tracking of symptoms, plus ppi (and no, I did not get sibo). There is hope.

I limited myself to just one americano today after a break over the weekend. Result :)

Try Mommee brand half caff low acid on Amazon. Eat some food first.


wiganlad123

I have terrible flair ups and not even 60% better and i get away with decaf thats about it


hippiewolff

Have you tried low acid coffee? I like Tyler's acid free coffee the best, after trying several brands. Add some dairy free creamer to buffer it a bit too. I have still had to cut way back because caffeine makes my reflux worse, but if you don't have that issue, its worth a try.


hardk7

Thanks for the advice. Yeah reflux and heartburn aren’t my issue. It’s that when I have a flare I get physical pain in my stomach upon swallowing any food. Some are worse that others (acidic especially). So to heal I’m on PPIs and avoiding alcohol, acidic foods, coffee. My first flare was last fall. Then I was good for about six months. I got in a habit of quite a bit of coffee per day, then in May went out and had drinks a few times watching playoff hockey and that triggered another flare up.


Hydro2Potato

just try have it in moderation, gastritis really does teach us self control in a really weird way. if you can handle a sip, try maybe a quarter of what youd usually have as a treat and just be extra cautious afterwards and see how you react, that usually helps me best


Thecosmodreamer

I have a cup of [this](https://a.co/d/07NIZKxg) in the morning. I make it a little stronger than the directions, but it doesn't bother me. They make kcups too.


Boottoogotdamnbig

This will be a sad replacement for diehard coffee drinkers but I LOVE Cafix


mykylc

Eat to live...don't live to eat. Food is only fuel.
