Drinking decaffeinated coffee is not bad for those who do not want to or cannot drink caffeine as in the case of individuals with gastritis, hypertension or insomnia, for example, because decaffeinated coffee has little caffeine.
Decaffeinated coffee has caffeine, but only 0.1% of the caffeine present in normal coffee, which is not enough, even to get sleep. In addition, since the production of decaffeinated coffee requires a delicate chemical or physical process, it does not remove other compounds that are essential to the taste and aroma of coffee, and therefore, it has the same flavor as normal coffee.

Decaffeinated coffee is bad for the stomach
Decaffeinated coffee, like normal coffee, increases the acidity in the stomach and facilitates the return of food to the esophagus, so it must be consumed in moderation by people who suffer from gastritis, ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux.
Can pregnant have decaffeinated coffee?
Coffee consumption during pregnancy must be done with care and responsibility. Pregnant women can have regular coffee and decaffeinated coffee because caffeine consumption is not contraindicated during pregnancy. However, it is recommended that pregnant women consume up to 200 mg of caffeine per day, which means 3 to 4 cups of coffee per day.
It is important to follow this recommendation because decaffeinated coffee, despite having less than 0.1% caffeine, has other compounds such as benzene, ethyl acetate, chloromethane or liquid carbon dioxide, which in excess can be harmful to health.
