Hi,
I have a friend who is fairly sensitive to acidity in many things,
including coffee, and was asking me tonight to recommned a coffee that
wouldn't likely upset her body.
What coffees, either green or available from internet roasters would
be good choices for her?
Thanks!

It could be the caffeine. Caffeine is an Alkaloid which is a natural
irrtitant to our digestives. If a person is sensitive to it they will
have an irritated stomach.

There is a lot of confusion about this topic in the coffee world.
Most people looking for "low acid coffee" suffer from heartburn (acid
reflux), which probably has very little to do with the tiny amount of
acid in coffee. Their real problem is natural stomach acids coming
back up the esophagus. There can be many causes for this, with a
possible association with caffeine. But, if caffeine contributes to
it, switching to low-acid coffee will not make any difference.
The bottom line is your friend should talk to a good G.I. doctor
before taking any advice from us coffee people!

Marshall, I'm glad you said 'most' instead of 'all'. Many people have food
intolerances. I can't eat Mandarin oranges, but can eat all the other citrus
friuts. My mother can't eat red tomatoes, so she eats yellows. I know people who
can drink the milder Indonesians, but not other Arabicas nor Robustas. They call
it 'acid'. Perhaps they are wrong about the chemical, but the result is the
same.
On another topic, my doc told me that some acid reflux, including mine, is
caused by NOT ENOUGH STOMACH ACID. So lowering it with drugs or antacids would
just makes things worse for me. As humans age acid production dwindles, leading
to poor digestion and bloating. He said that lower acidity means that the valve
at the top of the stomach isn't signalled to close after eating. That allows
stomach acid to get to the esophaugus. That's why many people with acid reflux
have a bout after lieing down to sleep. I take a hydrochloric acid supplement
after each meal. No more heartburn and I seem to be digesting protein better.

Wow. I'd never heard of that. But, your doctor is obviously no fun. I
would prescribe a pizza before bed.

Why would you say he isn't fun? Now I can eat pizza before bed if I just take
my Gastric Aids, too. http://www.vrp.com/ProductPage.aspx?ProdID=2510

I haven't either, but I heard an infomercial natural health quack talking
about the same thing & NOT to take antacid/heatburn tablets, Rolaids, etc..,
about the not enough acid thing..
His homeopathic solution was to take a tablespoon of vinegar &
heartburn/refux thing would stop. So I just took a slug of cider vinegar
right out of the bottle & I'll be darned it it didn't DISSAPEAR within the
minute!!

Was the health quack, Kevin Trudeau? Critics have not been kind to him,
not the FTC, nor the Federal Criminal System, nor the SEC, then throw in

Yep, that's him. I'm not gonna Google on him, but is he on the up & up, or
does he just make millions selling his book/s?

Sumatras and other Indonesian coffees aren't any lower in PH than any
other varieties. The acidity that is described in coffee is the
presence of chlorogenic acid, and other acids, that produce a 'bright'
and acidic sensation in the mouth.
Cold brew, aka coffee toddy, is a great way to brew coffee that will
produce a product that is lower in acidity.

Any of the Indonesians like Java or Sumatra. Darker roasts have less acid.
