Coffee

[JackABCD]

Whenever I drink coffee I feel a sort of pain in te upper part of the stomach.
The onle way to relax this pain is by eating a meal.

I have tried many times to stop drinking coffee but without success, I just lack of vitality when I don't drink coffee.

Does someone has any advice ?

Thank you,
Jack

Hi Selma,
I have been to the doc, he made an endoscopy and took 2-3 biopsies, he founds nothing beside moderate Gastriris.

He told me to avoid: coke, coffee, hot pasteries.
Also he perscribed  me Losec that I am taking 1 every morning.

The only problem for me is that I can't avoid coffee completely, just need it for feel vitality.

Thank you,
Jack

Hi Jack....
It seems u know what u have to do...it is never easy to give up things that help us function...but if it isn't good for us, then u may want to avoid it.....or mayb u need to use it in moderation.
Have u been to a Dr for ur pain to find out y this is affecting u?

mayb OTC meds like pepcid may help...but seeing the dr is highly suggested....
