Coffee and indigestion!

The one thing I really enjoyed was making a cup of fresh ground coffee in the morning, the smell of newly ground beans and the aroma of the brewing of the coffee just seemed to start my day. I would have two cups with a breakfast of granola and fruit and that was all the food I would eat til lunch.

I can't remember when I began eating antacids, probably around six years ago.
I began having an upset stomach, just a little extra acid in there that gave me an uncomfortable feeling. I would pop two or three antacids and go about my day.
Then about 6 months ago I began having to take more antacids and more often to eleviate the acid condition, that's when I decided to try giving up coffee.

I remember the day well as it was my birthday and as it turned out it changed my life, or at least part of it. That day I began drinking green tea instead of coffee and that day I quit taking antacids.

I tell you it was like day and night. No coffee/No upset stomach. I kicked my coffee habit and am healthier because of it. Now I'm not saying if you are popping antacids that quitting coffee is the solution to your upset stomach but quitting for a short time may make a difference.
