I was having the same (different age range, early 30's) symptoms, and I was able to eliminate my problems by cutting out coffee entirely. I can still drink caffeinated tea without issue. When I first quit coffee, I cut out all spicy foods and beans. Now I eat spicy foods and beans occasionally without issue.

Naturally, the doctor that did my colonoscopy didn't recommend trying any of this, just wanted to slap me on some new drug that messes with the immune system, no thanks.




What is the PH of Coffee that it is causing this damage or is it a different molecule in coffee?


Can you drink decaf coffee or is it something else in the coffee?


I think its generally the acidity. Low-acid coffee exists for people that have issues with normal coffee.


Some people make coffee with eggshells to help reduce the acidity. I started an experiment recently with my girlfriend to keep eggshells to see if it helps her. I hadn't looked for low acid coffee, thanks. That's probably also worth trying.


IDK. I cut out all coffee. I had been drinking some decaf previously because I limit my caffeine intake.
