coffee is the devil!!!

well, I guess I will NEVER drink coffee again. I did last night and I paid for it all night long. I do love coffee but I guess there comes a time when the pain is just NOT worth it! Anyone able to drink coffee without a problem? :headbang:

I can have a cup of low acid decaf in the morning. I definitely don't drink any later in the day.

I am able to have one cup of regular coffee in the morning as long as I take a Prelief with it. I found out the hard way that it can be no more than one cup. I can also have decaf during the day without much problem. I don't drink any coffee after 3:00pm or so. I am also able to drink decaf iced tea throughout the day. I guess it is the caffeine that bothers me the most. I stopped drinking caffeine drinks many years ago...way before IC.

2 cups is my limit and only to get me going in the morning. I used to be able to drink coffee throughout the days and trully that has been one of my hardest things to give up.
If I drink more than 2, my bladder really just wears me out for it!!! Nothing like a good painful bladder to start your day going!

I can drink coffee now with no problem, but I sure couldn't when I was symptomatic.

Oh boy, do I love coffee! I used to have a couple cups before I left for work. Then I'd fill up my thermos with the rest of the pot for the drive to work. Then I'd have more when I got to work! Now when I look back on that, I wonder how in the world did I do that? I can have one cup of mild coffee now, but NO MORE! Everytime I go for that 2nd cup, I always regret it.

I can drink caffeinated iced tea all day long with no problem but NO coffee!

I can drink 1-2 cups of regular coffee in the morning. Probably could drink more, but after 9:00, it just doesn't appeal to me.

:( I used to drink a couple of cups every morning before work. I cut down to just one cup with lots of milk Sat & Sun...if I drink it with a meal rather than on empty stomach I am usually ok.

I have changed to brewing herbal iced tea in the mornings during the week. The change was tough at first, but going thru the motions of making something helped, and now I find it much more refreshing than coffee and crave it like I used to crave coffee.
