I don't drink coffee everyday, but if I have it I only drink one cup. If I go to Starbucks, I have a soy latte. It usually doesn't cause any problems. I stay away from the mocha drinks and never get whip cream, because I can't tolerate the dairy.I would get the smallest size and see how you do. If you have the same problem it is probably the caffeine. Also, my stomach is more of a problem in the am. If I wait till the afternoon my stomach seems to do better.Good luck in school.

Coffee is a no-no in the typical IBS diet. Coffee has an enzyme in it (has nothing to do with the caffeine) that causes much grief in the IBSer's digestive system. Most of us can't touch the stuff. I miss Starbucks SO much, the mochas were just the best. There is a soy coffee called Rocamojo that I make mochas with rice milk at home.

I drink at Starbucks, but I only drink their teas. My favor is the soy chai tea (iced or hot). I had the passion ice tea over the weekend it is was soooooo good. But give the chai a try if you need a fix.

I can't handle coffe at all...but i get to take stimulants because of a sleeping disorder that I have so they work pretty well...whenever i remember to take them.
