Coffee appears to increase the ability of the muscles in the small intestine to contract, whether decaf or regular coffee was used …. and coffee suppressed bacteria along with the increased muscle motility, regardless of caffeine content.
So either decaf or regular is worth trialing.
I know quite a few of us have bad reactions to coffee and even tea, myself included, which is why, with the deepest sadness and regret, I had to cut it out completely, leaving me additionally zombified in the morning.
Desperate for a little more oomph in the AM, I recently started slowly adding coffee back into my daily regimen, mostly because I really, really missed it. I'm currently up to 2/3rds decaf and 1/3 regular grind, and so far, so good.
With this new info, I feel comfortable keeping the current 2:1 blend. It doesn't cause any increase in anxiety or additional symptoms, and no caffeine jitters, but it does help me with energy, unless it's a really bad day. And so far, there's no cure for that, at least none that I've found.
