hey there, i would say 'everything in moderation'. what have you heard to suggest coffee is good for ms? i do drink coffee, but it's a diuretic. i've heard it suggested that one serving of coffee cancels out two servings of water.

if you have bladder issues, coffee will exacerbate things and make holding your water challenging.

Coffee made him really tensed. Although he found a brand of coffee that he can enjoy without feeling like there is a war inside him. (That's the expression he used)
