How to reduce the acid in coffee
If acid stomach is bothering you after having your morning java, is the only option giving it up?
If you are like me, you can only give up so much!
I’ve virtually eliminated white flour products from my diet except for the occasional Hardee’s bisquit (and who can blame me for that?), very rarely eat anything with refined sugar in it and stay away from processed foods, high fat foods, junk foods, etc.
But I haven’t given up my coffee. So, since I choose to keep drinking it, I have looked for ways to reduce the acid in the coffee. And I’ve found a couple that work for me.
The one I use most, simply because I have a local source for it and can buy it more easily than the second choice, is a product called Teccino. It is a coffee substitute but it also reduces the acid in coffee, so I just add a little Teccino to the pot when I make it.
The second product, that also works great, is called Coffee Tamer. It comes in a little shaker and you just shake a little in your cup before pouring your coffee.
If excess acid from coffee is upsetting your stomach or you have ph concerns about this, as I did, try reducing the acid in your coffee.
