Road Queen 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Does everyone's surgeon have only de-caffinated coffee on their allowed food list initially? Over the years, the FDA has found problems with different chemicals used to decaffinate coffee so I would prefer to stick with the real stuff. I don't drink tons - at most 2 cups a day. I would really like to mix coffee with my morning shake for an iced coffee but I don't want to buy Decaf if it isn't essential. Any input is appreciated.

vinesqueen 2 Posted June 1, 2005 I don't have to do decaff, or at least I don't think I do. Isn't that the same thing? But I think I read somewhere that caffine causes stomach churn. but then again, I could be making up that part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted June 1, 2005 I talked to my Doctor about it and he said regular coffee is fine. There is a thread on here somewhere about it. I drink coffee everyday, couldn't get along without it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwinky 0 Posted June 1, 2005 My doctor says we can drink coffee, it doesn't have to be Decaf. However, ever doctor is different and there may be a reason why he/she is telling you that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenB 0 Posted June 2, 2005 My doc says reg. coffee is fine. The only reason not to, he said, is if you already suffer from acid problems w/your stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
