Coffee; stomach: Coffee has acids that can irritate stomach (especially one already irritated); caffeine can exacerbate acid reflux. May have gastritis (irritated/inflamed stomach) or peptic ulcer or acid reflux. Can try otc antacids or h2 blocker like zantac (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or prevacid, but should see doc if stomach irritation persists. http://www.coffeeresearch.org/science/sourmain.htm.
