I'd love I could drink coffee as before, as years ago. Unfortunately, my IBS became very severe (the doctor suspects a form of Crohn desease too, but in this moment I can't afford the test) and I only can drink half of a mini cup on a monthly basis (if the coffee is 100% pure: here is usually mixed with corn and corn is a terrible lax drug for me). I had to substitute coffee and tea with integral rice water. But I'm loving this coffee house and the cute green cups!
Yes, I also love it, by the way there is Brazilian coffee, do you know if it is different taste and how good it is.
I can imagine that you miss good coffee, even just aroma of beans are difficult to resist.
I am sorry to hear that you struggle with your bowel, any inflammatory bowel disease can make people very unwell. I hope you manage to control your symptoms with diet.
Yes, I'm following a very strict diet: gluten free, corn free, red meat free, cold cuts free, beans free, no cow milk, no many cheese. I also must be careful with some vegatables like cabbages and kale, tomatoes and fruits like grape and prunes. No carbonated drinks.
