GERD and distress from caffeine
Digestive Health | Last Active: Feb 21, 2023 | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
I realize that the doctors and the GI specialist do not recommend coffee or hot chocolate or even chocolate and red paste and I love spaghetti but I can't take the pasta because of my diabetes it just shoots me through the ceiling on my glucose level coffee is I can't give up the coffee because it helps me in the morning I have two generative discs I have sciatica I have nerve pain in my legs and hips and the coffee helps with that because of the caffeine being a painkiller and also it gives me a boost in the morning too I don't know what to do I sometimes it makes my stomach upset and I've been having a little bit of discomfort and below my belt area so I don't know what I'm going to do I keep praying everyday I wish I could quit but I haven't been able to yet I don't know what to replace it with I can't drink tea makes me sick at my stomach I also have neuropathy in my legs and especially in my feet I take 1800 mg of Gabapentin each day for that

I have gerd and got French Chicory and put a teaspoon of it in my refillable Pod coffee machine, it’s real smooth. I also got some Carob powder that is a chocolate replacement that I put in my cup. They don’t have the caffeine so I get to have a rich coffee replacement.

I'm so sorry about all of your health problems. I have quite a few too. I have Discoid Lupus which affects my hair and scalp and I have a lot of back pain caused by wear and tear and arthritis all down my spine. I put my heat pad on as soon as I get up in the morning and then I make my one cup of coffee which I savor. I find that the LPR diet is very hard to keep to although I don't eat most of the bad things on the list.
I also went deaf overnight which I attribute to the LPR. I need to see the ENT Dr again.
Getting old sucks.
I just try to keep enjoying every day that I can. I think that having friends or family around helps. I don't have family nearby but I do have some great friends. It's good to laugh whenever you can and company certainly helps with that.
Have you tried the barley coffee? I have and I drank it for 6 weeks and I hate it. I have also tried the almond milk which I use on my grain cereal but I don't like it in my coffee.
Perhaps they will eventually come up with a good medication for LPR. Keep on trying.
