If you can get completely off, all the better.
I couldn't. But got super close. I have GERD and love coffee. I got down to a half a cup of regular coffee in the morning and a half a cup of 1/2 and 1/2 coffee in the afternoon. (If I'm over tired in the afternoon, I'll have a 1/2 cup of regular coffee).
Anything below this causes fatigue and headaches.
So....for me, I found the perfect solution. I found this product at Walgreens and on line called "Prelief." I take two tablets before my half a cup of regular coffee and one tab before my half caff. Seems to be primarily calcium and I don't know why it works, but this tablet does the trick. And I only take it about two minutes before my coffee.
Most, if not all of my doctors are ok with this small amount of coffee and system. For me, it's working out. When I drink more than this, my stomach gets a little upset, so it's not worth it. When I drink less, I often get a headache. Kind of a mess, but I enjoy coffee, and this allows me to have a little coffee very comfortably.
