Coffee and Caffeine FAQ

I quit drinking coffee last Thursday and by Friday wasn't feeling so good. Sat morning I was woken up by the most absoultly horrible heartburn and couldn't fall back asleep. It stayed at a very high level of intensity for about 4 hours. So much that I almost went to the hospital (and I am not someone who ever goes. Even for broken bones). After is subsided, I still had a small but noticable amount of pain in my chest. Sunday morning, and it happened all over again. But this time, after the heartburn went away, it was followed by just as painful bowel bloating. I looked like I was ready to pop and I couldn't even bend over without yelling in pain. After taking gasx it slowly went away. Now I'm someone who has a bowel movement atleast 2-3 times a day. I eat ALOT but it's all very healthy and high in fiber but since quitting coffee I had only gone 2 times and only a fraction of the size. I decided to get coffee Sunday evening so see if it would help. Nothing happened so I had more today and after only about 20 mins I couldn't hold it in if I tried.

Is it possible that by quitting coffee I had backed up my bowels and therefore not allowed for proper drainage of stomach acid causing the excess amount to flow back into my esophagus?
