I had the same problem for a while and finally figured out it was the acid. My coffee's about 15% milk now, but at least I can drink it again without gut problems.

Damnaged: my coffee's about 15% milk now

Milking it up no longer works for me, Damnaged, unfortunately. When the maalox stopped working, the resultant gastritis sent me to the E.R.

Like many things in life, enjoy it while you can!

I don't care what they print about it, I haven't stopped drinking it.

Just shut up and give me my coffee.

meh. submitted better headline. will live forever now. blah blah blah

Just hook it to my veins!

Literally everything you drink is bad for you.
Except pure H2O, which apparently doesn't exist.
So whatever.

Can you still have tea? Some teas can get you all jacked out too.

When my stomach bothers me I just switch to iced coffee, the ice dilutes it. I can't drink soda from a can or bottle either, but can drink it all day long on ice.

If you're not buying fresh beans and then grinding them up (darker roasts for less acid), then you should try that. Higher quality coffee is not the same. Less jitters, unless super strong. If you drink Folgers or the other canned coffees, they tend to irritate the stomach and nervous system more. Just my experience... I spend the extra money personally because I like good coffee. If it's a habit, might as well put good stuff in your body...

This just in: Results of a new study indicate that living causes death.

I'll stick to Mountain Dew. At least nobody will ever change their minds about the health benefits of Mountain Dew, so I have a leg up. Coffee is just a sugar and caffeine delivery system anyway. People will tell you that they drink it for the flavor, but they're lying. They drink it to get breaks at work and to stay awake in their cubicle-drone jobs.

I can commiserate. In my case it was the twice-daily Pradax (aka Pradaxa in the US) for my a-fib that finally made it impossible for my stomach to handle any more acid, even with 60mg of prescription Dexylant daily.

I suppose there are worst things in life than giving up coffee, but I do miss it.

Wow, and that's just what he didn't want to happen.

An average of 3.2 cups a day?

Lightweights.

I average a pot of Hawaiian Kona blend per day. Black.

Freedman's analysis centered on healthy people; those with cancer, heart disease and stroke were excluded from the review.

This is excellent news for my upcoming research that dealing crack is beneficial* to your health.

(Excluding people who are shot to death, beaten by police, overdose, or are victims of crime or suicide.)

That's why I limit myself to no more than 600 cups a day. It's just good sense, people.

The Kennedy's never drank coffee and look what happened to them.

Actually pure water would kill you. If you drank enough of it it would completely deplete you of your essential minerals.

Coffee lovers less likely to die, study finds

Oh, I think they're as likely to die as anyone else.

This illustrates why science is a failure. The Lord is the same every day for all time. Trust in Him.

Finally, it is your turn to shine, my friend.

In fact, men who drank at least six cups of coffee a day had a 10 percent lower chance of dying during the 14-year study period than those who drank none. For women, the risk was 15 percent lower...

Over a longer term, I guarantee that the chance of dying converged for all groups.

Hundreds of years of culinary history can't be wrong :)

I used to drink a lot more coffee/caffeinated soda but then I figured out that's why I had tons of headaches. Now 4 cups in a day is a lot for me (measured, not just 'whatever fits in my mug = a cup). My dad has a heart murmur but apparently after he switched to decaf it hasn't bothered him since.

Coffee good for you? Yes. 64 oz 8 shot skinny sugar- free half-caff cararmel latte with extra syrup? Not so much.

I hear that drinking coffee through your penis gives you an 18.8873% chance of living longer.

/What doesn't kill you...often kills you the next day.

I only get the massive headaches when I fail to drink caffeine.

6 cups a day? That seems a bit excessive.

I call bullshiat. The Kona crop was devastated last year and it's rare as hens' teeth right now. Either you're lying about the quality, you have a stash, or you're getting ripped off.

Pussy.

I love the GFs mother who keeps on and on about how bad coffee is for you and that she has switched over to just drinking green tea because it is so much healthier than coffee every day.

Of course if we mention that her giving up her smoking a pack and a half a day would be better than giving up coffee she gets pissed.

This is interesting and all, but I want to see a study that says beers good for you

adeist69: iced coffee

It's been almost a year since my last unsuccessful attempt to find a way to return to my coffee drinking ways, I will give this a try.

karmaceutical: Have you tried smoking it?

Maybe a vaporizer? Does caffeine vaporize before the beans burn?

Thats strange, our local stores have full stock of Kona blend, I dont drink it because that stuff is for girls.

IIRC, desalination plants actually have to add a small quantity of minerals to the otherwise pure H2O they produce in order to make it palatable.

I bet they have caffeine cartridges for those silly e-cigarette things I know that have hash ones. Probably opium too. Actually, I'd like to have all 3 in 1.

simsite9 quoted the article:

Coffee lovers less likely to die, study finds

I prefer this line: "men who drank at least six cups of coffee a day had a 10 percent lower chance of dying during the 14-year study period than those who drank none."

Then later on there's this: "The link to lower mortality held up whether researchers considered total deaths or deaths from specific diseases and other causes - except for cancer. When it came to cancer, deaths were slightly higher among male coffee drinkers."

I drink a lot of coffee, but with articles like these I want to know who paid for the study -- and why it's important enough to crowd out real news, like what shoes Lindsay Lohan wore yesterday.

Yeah I don't drink coffee, so this article is of no interest to me. Subby, please limit your future submissions to topics that are of interest to me.

That is all, carry on.

Have you tried this? It's way less acidic than coffee brewed by drip or other conventional methods. It's also delicious to no end.

Cup or two before work. Two four-shot lattes during work. Half a pot after dinner. I don't care what it's doing to me. My heart will surely stop if I stop drinking it.

I have an office. It's also IT storage.

/they'd move me to the basement if we had one.

Kona "blend" is nearly always a rip. They can "blend" like 8 beans in there. Same deal with "Blue Mountain Blends." The real deal is very pricey... but then again, there are better cheaper single-origin beans out there.

Please farkie me as "also a coffee drinker".

Take them to the newly refurbished chamber that was once BAD!

Less likely to die? How is that possible?
