Why is coffee bad for us ?

[Scottyd1264 73]

I have never stopped drinking coffee, I drink a cup of regular everyday and feel fine....

I was told I could have coffee. Black no cream or sugar.

It's best to follow your surgeons advice but I was told that it can increase acid in the stomach and be a contributing factor to having a higher risk of getting an ulcer

My NUT says Decaf coffee only because any caffeinated beverage can increase the chance of dehydration.

it all depends on what stage you are in post surgery.

I am in maintenance now and i drink about 3 cups of coffee per day , one in the morning over about 2 hours ( yes it gets cold, lol, one in the afternoon and a Decaf at night, all with non dairy sugar free Creamer. ( i love the coffee mate italian sweet creme sugar free) But for the first 9 months i had zero coffee. Once i proved i could stay hydrated etc, and passed all my labs, my nut had no problems with my coffee drinking. I just have to space the coffee out, and i recommend half caff , or decaf as caffeine also affects us a bit stronger and repeated cups can be jarring.

That's a myth and the NUT should know better

Really....

Funny I have heard it from quite a few. I'll look into that more.

I have been allowed caffeinated coffee and tea the whole time. Just not lots of cream and sugar.

Cold, slushy and icy. I'm taking the shuttle to the airport tomorrow. It's going to be nuts.

My surgeon and NUT only require I give it up for two weeks because it is acidic and irritates the stomach. However many post sleevers from my local support group don't really seem to start drinking it again.
