    Hi Team,

    In November I ordered some King Coffee. I love coffee, I drink mold free coffee as well as cold brew. Never had any issues. However, with the King I experience loose stools. I have ever since tried it 3x ( each time waiting 2 weeks in between) and every single time same issue.

    Few years ago I tried Organifi’s Chaga Chai, that contains mushrooms as well. I remember having a stomach upset with it. Never tried it again coz I did not like the taste.

    So, clearly something going on but what? Is it a detox reaction? I really love the taste of King tho ☺️

    @Bahareh Safapour interesting observation, but just goes to show you how individualised the topic of nutrition has to be.

    In this specific case, my guess would be that your intolerance could be related to the type of beans they use or the processing methods. I’m assuming you checked ingredients and there are no additives right?

    Some beans are more acidic which can be irritating. And coffee contains compounds like chlorogenic acids (antioxidants), which can also affect the digestive system in some.

    That would be my best guess. Your body knows best. It’s an easy fix – choose an alternative. ☺️

    @Bernadette Abraham I have a feeling it’s the mushrooms, not sure what they are pulling out or maybe just my body does not like them. I stick then to my clean coffee ☺️

    @Bahareh Safapour Oh! King Coffee is made from mushrooms and not coffee beans??? I looked it up and found a Vietnamese coffee called King Coffee. I guess I was looking at the wrong site…

    @Bahareh Safapour you’re probably right about your sensitivity to mushrooms. Does Organifi’s Chaga Chai use the same or a different mushroom? Do you notice the same effect when you consume mushroom in whole food form?

    @Bernadette Abraham Chaga Chai contains 3 other mushrooms.
    I have to try add mushrooms to my food to see. Have not eaten some in a long time.
