Can a Frappuccino or other coffee drink cause stomach cramps?
I suffer from IBS, and after eating lunch, I bought one of those Starbucks frozen coffee drinks “Frappuccinos” (not the bottled kind), and now I have sharp stomach pains in the pit of my stomach-right in the middle. Can this mean I’m sensitive to caffeine, coffee or something else they might add? I don’t get cramping after my usual morning coffee which I make at home, and I’m on Dicyclomine, a prescription medication to stop the abdominal spasms associated with IBS.
Maybe the dairy, plus the acid in the coffee, plus the caffeine.
