I used to but not anymore. I think it's because I'm acidic or something and my stomach reacts to caffeine (like coffee and iced tea juice). If you feel that often, I think a check up would be a good idea.

do you drink black coffee or coffee with milk. some people are lactose intolerant, so whenever they take anything with a bit of milk in it, it can upset their stomach. i am somewhat like that, but not so serious. if i drink a cup of milk for example, i will have to go to the toilet an hour later.

I only have this problem if I drink black coffee. I can drink extra strong coffee all day long with no problems as long as it has a bit of cream and sugar added. You may want to try drinking a glass of milk before consuming your coffee. The milk should coat your stomach and prevent the stomach ache. Good luck!

that means the acid in coffee starts to bother you. Try to coat it with milk or use a lighter coffee such as decaffeinete. I hate decaffeinate so I dilute coffee with water to make it less strong

Sometimes I experience that too. But in my case, it's mostly because I have not eaten anything of much substance (like eating proper meal) before drinking (especially black) coffee. But I do not have any stomach problem when it comes to iced coffee with milk, or iced blended coffee drinks which contain less coffee and more milk. Try not to drink black coffee before eating to prevent the stomach ache. :)
