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 flavor was nice. No adverse effects on my stable tummy with one 12 oz. cup, each five days apart. I haven’t tested the “second-day rule” with this, though, so beware.
I’d welcome a guest review for this product; no freebies, but here is an announcement of their sale, with a promo code, that I received in the mail. So, for me and sixty of my good friends or so, here’s the sale:

Source of the Recipe
This “recipe” is something I have adapted from a New York Times post six weeks ago or so about making coffee without using fossil fuels. The writer wanted iced coffee, and learned the following method of making it.
Reason for this Post
Also, in blog statistics I noted that someone came here on a search looking for cold-press coffee for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I don’t quite know what s/he came away with, though I hope this post will provide a belated answer.
Coffee and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
No. I am NOT going to tell you can have coffee if only you brew it this planet-saving way. I AM going to tell you that you can have a good tasting morning drink. And if you want to live dangerously on your otherwise well-kept IBS diet and use genuine coffee for a quarter of the brew, I’ll tell you how.
RocaMojo Soy “Coffee”
Yes, this is a product endorsement. I do more of this endorsing stuff than I like, but some things work, and some things don’t. Some things taste good, and some things don’t. RocaMojo makes three kinds of product in the range of
- No coffee, only soy beans are used
- Half-coffee, half and half soy beans and coffee beans
- All coffee, using only coffee beans
All three kinds come either unflavored or with the following flavors added: chocolate-flavord mocha, vanilla, and hazelnut. Amazon.com has a terrific deal. If you order three one-pound cans at a time, you pay $18.20. For those who are not Amazon Prime members, shipping is $7.06 (or free if your total order is over $25). Just enter “Rocamojo soy coffee” in the Amazon search box on the Amazon page here.
“Coffee” Maker Needed
Okay. The next thing you need for this environment-sparing method of preparation is a French Press coffee maker, which–you guessed it–you can also order from Amazon for between $10 and $20 for a single-serving size.
Environment-saving Method of Making “Coffee”
I make strong “coffee” substitute. You may have to experiment to get the strength you like. With a clean French-press coffee maker, do the following. The night before you want your morning coffee, or six to eight hours before you would usually drink your soy beverage/ soy-coffee combination drink/ coffee (Rocamojo) do this. Measure out the recommended amount into your French press coffee maker. Add water. Stir. Add the press gadget. Sleep or do stuff. Wake up, or come back. Press. Pour. You will have room temperature “coffee.”
Enjoy!
Take your morning–or evening–dose of soluble fiber. Eat something. Zap your “coffee” in the microwave for a few seconds if you want it warmer than room temperature. Don’t add ice! But you could make double strength brew and add cold water.
Environmental Impact
This drink was prepared without using the gas burner on the stove to heat the water. OK, it uses electricity if you zap it in the microwave. However, we will (have to) develop methods of generating electricity that don’t use fossil fuels and don’t contribute to global warming. So I’m willing to continue using electricity.
What do you think? Do you have another recipe?

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 unsweetened shake packet, and a heaping half-teaspoon of Stevia. Then it goes in the refrigerator until morning. I keep telling myself that if I sip from it at night, it won’t be there in the morning when I really need it!
Also at night, clean out the single serving French press coffee maker.
In the morning, first thing on getting up, put on the right amount of water to boil, and put the mug to be used into the freezer. Then either take a couple of tablets of Equalactin plus a glass of water, or fix some Acacia Tummy Fiber. Then it’s time to put the “coffee” into the French press, and stir with a plastic knife. You could use a plastic spoon, if you like. Then while the coffee is brewing (about four minutes), drink the Revival Soy shake and take any morning medication.
Then press the coffee in the French press, take the mug out of the freezer, pour in the coffee, don’t forget to add a quarter teaspoon of Stevia, and then half again as much Stevia, and your “coffee” is cool enough to drink, your gastrocolic reflex has been put to sleep, your tummy is prepared for the “coffee,” you have a good healthy protein breakfast that will last for several hours, and you are on time and not too stressed by the beginning of the day.
