Coffee enthusiasts know the joys of enjoying a steaming cup in the morning can help start their day right, yet acid reflux may make this difficult to do. Luckily, there are a few simple adjustments you can make that will keep your stomach calm while enjoying your beverage of choice!

Finding an non-acidic and caffeine free coffee replacement that meets your individual needs is of the utmost importance. Mushroom elixirs and raw cacao have become increasingly popular as effective coffee alternatives due to being naturally caffeine-free and rich with healthy antioxidants; mushroom elixirs offer an additional bonus by being warming – perfect for soothing sensitive stomachs!

Caffeine is an effective stimulant and up to 400 mg a day is generally safe for most adults; however, as people differ in their tolerance and sensitivity levels it’s wise to consult recommendations from recognized authorities and listen to your body when making this determination. Also keep in mind that caffeine is found in various foods and beverages so consider these sources when determining how much you can safely consume.

Trying to cut back on caffeine intake but don’t want to give up coffee entirely? Decaf coffee offers an ideal compromise. Starting as green, unroasted beans, decaf coffee is processed using one of four methods to remove its caffeine: steaming, cold soaking, solvent extraction or mechanical extraction.
