Coffee = Gallstone attacks??

July 23, 2002

Ive seen a few people post similiar topics in the past, but they

never had the detail I was looking for.

Almost every time I drink coffee, I get an upset stomach and have to

make a mad dash for the bathroom.

In college, for some reason, I was able to drink coffee a few times a

day, without and upset stomachs/ stomach cramps. Towards the end

though, I developed Ulcerative Colitis (related???).

Anyways, my question is, has anyone had this before (upset stomach

due to coffee), and has it been cured by doing gallstone flushes?

Ive done about 6 Gallstone flushes now, and have flushed stones

anywhere from the size of a grain, to the size of a grape. Im

wondering if the coffee is just giving me gallstone attacks.

Does anyone know the symtoms and results of Gallstone attacks?? (i.e

would upset stomach and urgency to use washroom be classified as a

gallstone attack?).

Thanks,

Coffee is irritating to the stomach, highly acid...and has

oils in it that are not good for the heart, and can stimulate

the gallbladder. Nutritionists will tell you to stop drinking

it...if you do, cut down slowly as we become addicted to

the caffeine and it causes bad headaches to stop it all

at once.

I have had this after eating meals that stimulate the digestive

system, or the gall bladder, and wonder the same thing. It's

usually after meals that are oily, or have foods that cause gas

in the digestive system. It is definately some kind of attack :-)

but not 100% sure if it is the gall bladder.
