Re: What is the biggest problem for Leaky Gut? Coffee or Sugar...

 Everytime I drink coffee with sugar in it, I have an episode...stomach spasms and leaky gut issues. Is it the caffeine that is the problem or could it be the sugar? Maybe both? It seems like when I drank coffee with Erythritol in it I had less problems but not sure. Any thoughts or experiences from anyone?

The caffeine in coffee weakens the adrenals leading to increased inflammation in the body due to lower levels of anti-inflammatory corticosteroids.  Tannins in coffee also bind nutrients needed for healing and the oxalates in coffee are tissue irritants.  So I would say coffee is worse.
