Anyone can't handle coffee??

I cannot have coffee for the life of me.  I have proven it about 30 times now.  I have 2 sips and I am running to the bathroom in pain.  Why????  I am not a HUGE coffee drinker but I love to have my one cup in the morning on my way to work.  How can it react so quickly?  This is very frustrating especially since everyone around me thinks I am nuts and says that it is all in my head!

If I'm constipated, a sip of coffee and a cigarette, and I'm off to the bathroom!!!!!  I only drink decaf now, and I do miss regular coffee, but the pain is just not worth it.

I have never been a coffee drinker, but always enjoyed caffienated soda's. Can't drink those anymore as they make me really sick.

i thought i was crazy, because just the smell of coffee makes me go. lol, i swear sometimes this disease is a real trip. i hate coffee but when i lived with my parents they would have the coffeemaker on early and off i would go. i never drink the stuff unless i'm constipated (rarely) and coffee does the trick.

I'm a big time coffee drinker, don't touch much of anything else. I don't get problems with it, but my beloved bowl of
cereal or ice cream is a huge no no. I sometimes wonder if lactose intolerance also come into play with this disease.
I never had a problem before dx...

I had that problem for a while and I learned that I could drink it ICED, and it would not bother me. Found out that fixing the way I like to drink it and pouring it over ice changed something in the chemical makeup and then I could drink it and not run.

I am in a better place today and can have a cup if I want, but I know I am still risking it. So I just make sure I am not going anywhere when I have it just in case.

But basically, try it iced. Found Hazelnut flavored either by creamer or the coffee beans taste the best over ice.

Good Luck

I would just have to crawl in a cave and never come out if I couldn't have my morning java. When I first went to the doctor for "d" when I was 17 he told me I was lactose intolerent. I dealt with it for years. Then I was told I had IBS on top of that. At the age of 46 I found out I had Crohn's on top of all that but for some reason after my resection dairy doesn't bother me anymore. Maybe I had Crohn's or IBS all that time (29 years) and was never lactose intolerant. Can you outgrow it?

I have not made it at home and then poured it over ice so let's try it and see. I feel like I would like to crawl into a cave most of the day. Today I was just staring at my computer and my eyes were literally shutting! Luckily for me, my Husband is my boss and if I don't feel good he'll go easy on me!

I'll go home but only if I really am not functioning well! My phones don't stop ringing so I feel bad leaving him sometimes... then I start to get phone calls from clients that love to tell me there whole life stories and don't understand when I have to rush them off the phone. All my guilt pretty much goes away right there and then!

I find that coffee affects me the way most other foods and drinks:  sometimes I'm fine and sometimes I feel sick and have D.  Can't really make heads or tails out of this DD.  So I just take it day by day and if I'm feeling ok I'll have a cup of coffee and hope for the best.  I really enjoy a cup of iced coffee in the warm weather.  Sometimes I wish I could find a definite link between what I eat or drink and how it affects me.  Then I would know what not to eat. I do however stay away from the definite no-no's like nuts, raw fruits and veges, seeds, etc.  This DD is soooo frustrating! 

For the longest time I would get nausead and vomit from coffee. The only way I was able to drink coffee was to add 1 packet of hot cocoa to the cup of coffee. I also use lactaid brand milk. I also found that if I bought cheap coffee, it would make me sick. When I bought better quality coffee I no longer had to add the hot cocoa.
Now I allow myself 1 cup of coffee a day. I now but Folgers Gourmet BRand coffee

Wow! I have a lot of triggers, but coffee is not one of them. I practically live on coffee all day. And I don't get D from it. In fact it soothes me!

 

I guess I am one of the lucky ones. Sorry guys!

I can only have one cup when i'm doing well, otherwise I can only have one cup of decaf.
