Hi, guys!

I visited a doctor recently and he told me, that I have erosion in my stomach and if I continue the same nutrition, it will develop into an ulcer.

How did I get the erosion? I  used to drink espresso, 5-6 cups a day. And I really like to drink a lot of coffee. And my doctor recommended me to drink coffee with milk. But I don't know any milk frother.

Could you help me with this and advise some frother?

I think that the doctor was trying to say that you need to soften your addiction with coffee because 5-6 cups a day is a lot (that explains why the doctor suggest to add milk of it). But for the most part lets be clear that coffee doesn't cause ulcers but if and only if you have develop an ulcer, drinking coffee will lead you to feel pain. The causes of ulcers are not known. So just please remember the doctors advice and drink coffee moderately.

drinking a lot of coffee is not the problem. I know someone drink coffee in replacement of water.

However, if you drink coffee with milk as your doctor suggest, the entire drink will go easy on your stomach.

 

Eat less food at time, do not eat a lot in one time. You can spread the meal through the day.

Ye, he said about that too. But I thought that words about coffee are more important for me. 

I'll try eat less at time and don't eat a lot in one time.

But maybe someone of you knows some kind of milk frother

Guys, I have found several sites and have already selected one milk frother. I decided to buy Aerolatte 004 Milk Foamer. I am very selective and have reviewed many sites and many reviews. So he must be good.

And while I was choosing it, a brilliant idea came to me. Since I am not allowed to eat my usual foods, why not try becoming a vegetarian. Have any of you tried vegetarianism?

I was already prompted that it is not necessary to immediately give up meat and the usual diet, you need to do it gradually. Any other tips?

The article makes a solid point about how coffee’s acidity can aggravate ulcers for some people. Exploring low-acid or adaptogenic alternatives might offer a gentler experience. For instance, Tikvah adaptogen coffee is designed to be easier on digestion while still delivering a coffee-like ritual. It's an option worth considering for those looking to minimize irritation without giving up coffee entirely.

Had similar stomach irritation from pounding Americanos. Switching to cold brew and adding milk helped. I use a cheap handheld Aerolatte at work, and a Nespresso Aeroccino at home to heat/foam fast.

Easing into vegetarian worked for me: swapped lunch meats for hummus or tofu, kept eggs and yogurt at first. Low acid choices like oat milk, chamomile tea, and plain rice were gentler.

If caffeine feels more like a habit spiral, I’ve been looking into Abbeycare for guidance on cutting back without going extreme. Nice to speak with someone when self limits keep slipping.
