It can. Excessive caffeine can act as an irritant to the lining of the stomach.

Definitely!! If you drink coffee, try switching to a decaf or smoother blend. Or you could try teas. They have about 1/2 the caffeine content as the same sized cup of coffee, and the antioxident effect is wonderful for you if you drink the green, red or white teas. Sweeten with a bit of honey if you like, or you can even drink herbals, most of which have no caffeine at all.

It's more likely the type of drink that is making your stomach hurt - caffeinated drinks are often carbonated, which can make your stomach hurt. Coffee has other components that can make your stomach hurt. Etc.

drinking anything in excess will make anything hurt
try not drinking caffeine for a while. If the pain persists see the Doctor.

caffeine is acidic
too much can give you a real stomach ache or naseau
coffee tea and sodas contain acids
that is why there are decaffeinated versions of these beverages

yes...I have to eat something in order to drink caffeinated drinks. Now I think it's Folger's that has the "smooth" coffee for sensitive stomachs.

YES. I have cut back so mine does not. But other things can also, you may want to check with your doc. I did not and spent 3 days in a hospital.

I actually drink coffee to make me "go" when I get home from work. It's excellent for that. And it's good to go a few times a day. AT HOME THAT IS NOT AT WORK OR ANY OTHER PUBLIC PLACE.

Definitely. It's a central nervous system stimulant and can adversely affect the stomach and bowels.
