Anyone with IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, knows that a flare-up can come at any time. You’re minding your own business and then suddenly you’re bloated, gassy, and spending the day on the porcelain throne. Like a king! A very sick king. There are trigger foods most IBS sufferers are familiar with and do their best to avoid. But how can you say no to the enticing, delicious, and incredibly addictive flavor of coffee?
Coffee sometimes gives even people without serious stomach issues problems, yet we must persist in drinking it. It’s just too good. Anyone with IBS has stared down their cup of java, confronted what the future holds if they gulp it down, and decided to through themselves into the liquid roast anyway. Here are all the thoughts that run through your mind as you make that choice, consequences be damned.

Being a sober person with IBS makes dating hilarious. Wanna meet for drinks? Nope. Go out to dinner? Only if you take me home immediately afterward.
Oh, and I don’t drink coffee either ????????

Someone do psychological study on why I continue to drink coffee despite the fact that all I get out of it is IBS and anxiety.
