Coffee for Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Puroast sale.

0 Comments Published by tummyblogger September 20th, 2007 in coffee, general, IBS, IBS-C, Soy Coffee, IBS Diet

Puroast is one of a few brands of low acid coffee. Since coffee is my “Essential Food Group” and since my tummy is now pretty stable, I ordered it and tried it a couple of times, using 1/2 measure Puroast and 3/2 measure Rocamojo Soy Coffee. Both were in mocha flavor, and the resulting chocolate […]

Giving It Up for IBS

2 Comments Published by tummyblogger August 5th, 2007

Read the following in conjunction with the Page on this blog called IBS Triggers.

I’ve just added the blog “Confessions of a Bathroom Dweller” to the list of links. The author has a post on not going the extra mile, “Sprite is an Essential Food Group!”

In part, she says:

Someone found my little corner of the blog word by typing in:

“is sprite bad for people with IBS”

ahhh….someone after my own heart. You see, I know carbonation is “bad” for people with IBS. My brain knows that it is not smart to intentionally consume something that will add air to my system. But of everything I have had to give up or modify to deal with my IBS, Sprite is the ONE thing I REFUSE to give up.

For me, it’s coffee–well, at least some coffee. Not very much. About 1/4 of a cup, mixed with mocha soy, but some.

OK. We all do it, we all pay a price.

What we could do:

  • Cut down the amount - just one Sprite, ™ less than one cup of coffee spread throughout the day
  • Diminish the effect - let the Sprite ™ go flat before you drink it, mix the coffee with non-coffee compatibles
  • Share it so you eat or drink less
  • Make it with substitutes - soymilk instead of milk,
  • Chew it carefully (pecans, almonds) or grind it up
  • Use it in powdered form - powdered cocoa, not chocolate, not even dark chocolate with no dairy and no sweetener
  • Give it up for IBS control?

What’s your favorite dodge on the “essential food groups” plaint?

Today I worked out a very fast breakfast—probably should have done it long ago, actually. This is especially for the instant-coffee, ice-cube-in-the-coffee, speed-it-up-at-all-costs, sort of person I still am.
This involves preparing the morning shake the night before and putting it in the refrigerator. For me the shake is made of soy milk, a Revival Soy […]
