For a few years, I had to stop drinking coffee completely until I discovered JAVAcid, which I've now been using for years. I've tried numerous other acid reducers, but JAVAcid is the best by far. It is the most effective in protecting your tummy from coffee acids; it in no way distorts the flavor of the coffee; and it mixes so smoothly you wouldn't even know it's in there. It's expensive, but if you really want to enjoy your coffee without digestive discomforts, it's well worth the price. Reorder two to three weeks before you run out of it because delivery can be slow.

This is the best product for anyone that deals with acid reflux!!! I have delt with severe reflux for years and I love my coffee. This product has been life changing for me!!

I read about this product here on Amazon.com. It sounded perfect, so I ordered it directly from the company in the morning on Dec. 1. It is Dec. 10 and the item has not even been put in the mail yet. I called and emailed to inquire about the status of the order, and they have not returned my calls or emails at all. I discovered on the website that the credit card payment was cleared and the payment was authorized immediately. It might be a good product, but customer service does not get any worse than this. I won't order from a company like this. I bought another chewable, chocolate flavored brand at a local health food store yesterday. It works fine. Note: Today, after the company received my last email stating that I was going to review the company's product on Amazon.com I received an email apology. I will edit this review when and if I receive the refund or the product. I had planned on recommending this product to my patients for GI issues. I'm still hoping this is a good product from a good company. More to come..

Makes coffee tummy friendly.

This is now showing unavailable here and on the website. I am beyond inconsolable; Javacid sprinkled on a very small coating of barbecue sauce on a chicken breast, stirred into mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, etc. allows some normality (homemade salad dressing) in an IC life. It doesn't take a whole tube for me, just a reasonable amount in a few tablespoons or sprinkled like salt over something like barbecue sauce on food. IC is difficult. When there are times you can only eat the white bread (unless the rolls are sourdough or rye) on the restaurant menu, this powder makes it possible to order as bland as possible and still get some sort of food. Speaking of which, would restaurants PLEASE stop putting pepper, including white pepper, in EVERYTHING? Praying production starts up again, as Prelief gives me horrible IBC symptoms.

I suffer from bouts of Gastritis as well as interstitial cystitis. Basically, I'm a mess, especially when I eat things containg tomatoes, pineapple, or drink coffee. I ordered JAVAcid while searching for low acid coffees that had reviews like, "tastes like tree bark", or "tastes like awful swill". I figured, it MUST taste better than tree bark. Not that I have actually licked a lot of tree bark mind, and it probably has bird pee on it, so I think I'll bypass that experience. Plus, I like to keep my consumption of awful swill to a minimum. Anyway, tree bark coffee or JAVAcid...this seemed like a no brainer. Well, I have just finished a cup of regular Carabu coffee (medium roast with caffeine) and I'm happy to say that 1. It did not taste like tree bark and 2. I am not suffering from any gut pain, hunger gnawing, or any type of bladder pain. As a matter if fact, this is my third cup of coffee this week using JAVAcid. This is up from zero cups of coffee for three months, and I think I might die from the happiness. It dissolves completely, it tastes like noting, and it doesn't leave gross sludge at the bottom of my cup. Most importantly it doesn't taste like tree bark. I ordered two boxes each containing 30 packets. Basically, for $22 I'll be happily drinking coffee for two months. This is reasonable. Conclusion: JAVAcid worked for me, wasn't outrageously expensive, and didn't taste like awful swill.

Javacid has been an absolute game changer for me. Yes, it DOES work. As someone that drinks a lot of coffee on a regular basis, I've recently started to experience stomach discomfort with even the slightest sip. I came across Javacid, tried it and it's been exactly what I've needed. I no longer have stomach issues, and I'm back to enjoying my favorite daily beverage. I'm now a user for life!

I have had IBS for years and have had to drink acid reduced coffee. Going out, I have been unable to drink coffee at all. I used to drink Kava instant when out but have been unable to find it. While researching alternatives I came across this product. Although it seemed more for IC and acid reflux (which I also have) I decided to give it a try. My shipment arrived in two days. I have been using this product for a week and I have to say I am amazed. It is truly a miracle. The only negative is that it is not available in stores. I am able to drink real coffee again! Thank you javacid!

This is a wonderful product. I haven't been able to drink coffee for more than 2 years. I've tried low acid coffee, coffee alternatives, cold brewing, etc... with no success. I began researching how to take the acid out of coffee and found JAVAcid in a blog post. The idea of being able to drink whatever coffee I wanted was extremely appealing. I was skeptical and when the product arrived I waited until a Saturday so that I could manage my symptoms if they returned. Happily no symptoms have returned! Will I go back to drinking as much coffee as I used to? No. That was probably too much coffee to begin with, but I can look forward to mornings again and enjoying a cup of coffee with my wife on the weekends.

I LOVE my coffee but lately it has not been loving me back. I have had a hyper-acid stomach whenever I drink coffee. I was drinking an herbal coffee substitute but it is just not the same flavor. I also tried cold processed coffee but still had the hyper-acidity. So I went on the Javacid site and got their free sample to try. I was pleasantly surprised that 1.) It does not change the flavor of my coffee and 2.) It really works. So I can drink coffee again. I keep several packets in my purse so that I will have them when I am away from home. I think I might try using it with spaghetti sauce - another problem food.

I have tried two other products to reduce coffee acidity, including a calcium-based one my urologist had recommended. Nothing works as well for me as Javacid. I drink two cups of (cold-brewed) coffee with Javacid added every morning and have no sympoms of discomfort. Without Javacid and /or with other products my Interstitial Cystitis flared up. So grateful for this product.

I found a mention of Javacid in a medical paper and tried it. It reduces acid so my bladder can tolerate a mug of coffee. Ahhhh!

If not for Javacid I wouldn’t be able to drink coffee. Pass the word on to all with interstitial cystitis or painful bladder syndrome. Also use in tomato sauces and salad dressings.

Very happy to recommend this wonderful solution to acidity in coffee. Love the easy to carry individual packets for use away from home too. The integrity of the brew isn't altered and the blissful comfort of knowing no upsets will follow that favorite cappuccino is marvelous. Added bonus are the all-natural ingredients, Vitamin D, Calcium and Inulin, that promote digestive health. Life without coffee? Unimaginable! Life with Javacid in Coffee, pure heaven!

JAVAcid not only works with coffee, it also works with wine and (carefully) with soda. It should be dissolved in a tiny bit of hot water before using these products. It changes the color -- darkens -- the color of white wine. It will cause the soda to bubble up and overflow if not dissolved, in a separate glass, etc., beforehand. I am pleased.

This product really works. Does what it claims although a little pricey. If you suffer from heartburn, acid stomach or GERD I recommend this product. The only draw back is each box has 2 or 3 coupons for free samples. Every friend I have given these to have reported that they never got the free sample no matter whether they called, wrote or emailed.

Longtime IC management has included this! Can’t live without this in my coffee every day. When I stop using it I have a flare within a week. Love that this product lets me continue my love of coffee!

I'm very pleased with Javacid and its ability to take the bitter edge off my treasured cups of Starbucks. No change to the wonderful taste, but my tummy no longer suffers the grinding caused by the coffee acids. So pleased to have found it. Have already reordered once, and ready to do it again. Got it very quickly through Amazon.

Without Javacid, I would not be able to drink coffee due to a overly sensitive bladder. Now, I can enjoy it.
