Sorry to spoil your morning coffee....
Caffeine interferes with the way the amino acid GABA binds to its receptors to cause a calming effect. However, it can also trigger many of the same symptoms as prescription/'recreational stimulants including loss of appetite, digestive problems and malnutrition.
Coffee, has many negative health effects; especially in sufferers of digestive system conditions such as leaky gut, IBS, Crohns’s disease, colitis and ulcers. Coffee is harmful to the stomach and intestines and irritates the stomach lining, it depletes hydrochloric acid which is needed to assist in digestion, contributes to acid reflux, increases bacterial growth, and prevents the stomach from healing due to its acidic nature, as a laxative it also prevents the absorption of vital nutrients. Mmm.
