A couple of blogs backed I was wondering why I was experiencing abdominal cramps after eating breakfast. Today, I ignored the protocols and went for that cup of coffee on an empty stomach. WHAM! Crunch. (My insides were speaking.) Owwwww.

Ding, ding, and ding! There’s the bell going off inside of my brain. Coffee is both a natural laxative and increases stomach acid. The day that I had a very light breakfast (specifically, it was easy to digest) and a strong cup of coffee, I experienced pain. The morning that I had turkey sausage for breakfast, I drank that same strong cup of coffee without any pain whatsoever. Well, meat is much harder to digest, right? Also, D’Adamo advised drinking your coffee AFTER the meal. This makes sense!

I need to drink tea with my light breakfasts and coffee with my heavier meals. So simple. Live and learn.
