@dbeshears1, I know you directed your question to others, but I hope it's okay that I chimed in? 🙂
I've consulted with quite a few GI docs (finding someone who knows more about neuropathy can take some time) and they told me that when it comes to foods, the only real way to tell if you're sensitive to something is to stop consuming it for 4-6 weeks, then restart it and compare symptoms. This way, you'll have a better idea of how your body responds. As you know, caffeine is a stimulant and definitely affects the GI tract. Whether that's good or bad, it's really how your body responds to it.

Thank you - And I appreciate your response! I'm still learning this site, and sometimes I see a post responding to somewhere else in a chain and I can't figure what it related to. I've seen some folks respond to a year old post. Of course, what I see on my phone is a it different from what I see on my laptop. I wasn't trying to exclude anyone vs not trying to junk up views for hose not interested. Your trial and error make sense. Like John, I see coffee as a desired stimulant. I've learned dairy isn't friendly. So what you're saying makes perfect sense, especially since each body is different
