Does folger coffee cause stomach or esophageal problems?

Folger brand coffee is just coffee, like any other coffee. If a person is predisposed to stomach or esophageal problems, many foods will cause discomfort or exacerbate existing conditions. Some foods taken in excess can cause initial problems in people with other existing health issues, or even in healthy people, given sufficient abuse of particular foods. I believe The Folger Coffee Company market a coffee labeled stomach-friendly specifically designed for those with food-related stomach issues. Have a look at Folgers website, at the link below.
