How many mugs of coffee is safe to consume in a day without worrying about my acid-peptic disorder?!
Answers: I love to drink coffee..........but theres a problem that i have acid-peptic disorder and also pt hypocalcemia........so coffee is really not good for both of them.........so please tell me can i drink at least one cup of coffee and one cup of tea a day....and please also tell me how many can i drink safely without worrying any of my above two conditions.
Probably none. Also, decaf is actually more acidic than regular coffee because of the processing it goes through. It's not really just the caffeine that makes coffee acidic -- there are multiple factors (pop/soda is also acidic, but it's mostly due to the sugar and various chemicals).
I'd strongly recommend checking with your doctor. Do you really *need* the coffee??
In regard to the tea, if you're not drinking it for the caffeine, you may want to try rooibos tea. I've heard it actually has an alkelizing effect on the body, so it's possible it could actually help your conditions. You can get rooibos mixed with various flavors. I've tried some different fruit and spiced flavors and really liked them.
I have an ulcer which is acting up. I mix 60% decaf grounds and 40% reg grounds when I make coffee. I can drink 2 (maybe 3) cups a day without a problem. And the mixture doesn't taste like decaf.
