Coffee makes me sick to my stomach

[thirtythree]

Is there anything I can do, aside from not drink it?

 

[CrackRabbit]

eat first.
not drink it.

why drink it if it makes you sick? if it's caffeine you want, there are plenty of other ways to get it

 

[Malfeas]

Meth works for me.

I like drinking it.

It may be an ulcer. May want to see a doctor.

Coffee on an empty stomach doesn't make me feel good either. I normally eat something before/when I drink coffee.

misunderstood that expression, but anyway coffee upsets my stomach too when it's empty. it's just one of those things that you shouldn't drink/eat on an empty stomach.

Eh, I don't think so. I know a lot of people who get sick when they drink coffee. Perhaps it is just not eating enough beforehand.

Aren't ulcers painful?

After years of drinking coffee first thing in the morning, I have never had that problem.

Pussy. I drink coffee and eat candy bar for breakfast. Caffeine and sugar rush in 1 sitting.

i am the same way. The acid just makes me feel not too great. Try to eat something like bread/toast with it.

Why not just put sugar in your coffee?

Drop some milk in there instead of non-dairy creamer. Milk is a natural nuetralizer and will drop down some of the acidity of the drink.

Part of it is just a symptom of the high caffeine in it too. High doses of caffeine can cause IBS(irritable bowel syndrome).

I had the same problem with the acidity.

A friend (who was a self-proclaimed coffee snob) said to try drinking espresso because it is a less acidic drink. But I wanted t something to sip on instead of taking espresso shots. So then he suggested having an Americano, which is shots of espresso with water. I tried it for a week straight then on the 6th day switched back to regular coffeee and the difference was night and day.

And now I have finally landed exclusively on green tea for my morning caff bump.
