Hi thanks for the query.
IUDs usually don't cause gas/ bloating. As you told you are taking coffee in the morning, that may be the cause of your problem. Having tea or coffee in morning with empty stomach increases acidity. In my opinion, there is no need of IUD removal for these symptoms and only avoiding tea/ coffee and spicy food and having cold milk along with some antacids will help you.
Hope this information is helpful and informative to you.

Hello,
Your symptoms are due to Hyper acidity and indigestion.
What you need is antacid + anti spasmodic + anti flatulent + frequent bland diet + tension free life + good sleep.
Even though IUD is not the cause of your problems, keeping IUD for long periods (7years) is harmful. Better remove it immediately and can be replaced as per your need.
Best wishes
