I guess I could play with my diet a little. You know what's really funny? I don't even like the taste of coffee, but drink it. I love the smell of good coffee. I drink it. I don't hate it, but I still drink it. I've tried tea, but something about coffee....I do think that caffeine overstimulates my intestines, but primarily just in the morning. I often have a cup of coffee late afternoon with splenda & about 2 tbsp ff milk and have no issues whatsoever.
