Probiotic Gummies + Coffee? Safe or a No-Go?

Q
QuantumQuincy390Hey all, just started taking these probiotic gummies (the ones with 5 billion CFU). I always have a cup of joe in the morning and was wondering if it's okay to take them together. Heard caffeine might kill the good bacteria? Any thoughts?

UpliftUrsula662I've been taking probiotic gummies with my morning coffee for months, no issues! I read that as long as it's not scalding hot, the bacteria are fine. I just pop them after my first sip. So far so good, no stomach probs.

QuartzQuinn258Actually, coffee can increase stomach acid which might not be ideal for some probiotics. But I take mine with a pre-workout (which has caffeine) and haven't died yet. Just listen to your body. Maybe try taking them with a glass of water a few mins before food/coffee if you're worried.
