question about caffine/coffee
About three summers ago, I started experiencing something similar. I love coffee and never had any problems. But all of a sudden, I would drink a cup of coffee and about three hours later, I would feel nauseous, shaky, and just plain sick . . . I compare it to motion or car sickness. I thought it was a caffeine thing and switched to decaf. It didn't make any difference. I would have that same reaction. I was describing my coffee experiences with an acquaintance and she said she has the same thing and her doctor said it was a coffee allergy.
That same summer that the coffee began affecting me, I started coughing and sneezing all day long and my eyes were excreting watery goo of some sort. I went to the doctor and she told me I had allergies. I told her it couldn't be that as I never had allergies before. She said allergies can come on at any time in a person's life and now I had them. I find I need to Zyrtec all year round or my days are miserable.
So, I do think I developed a coffee allergy around the same time. I can pound down tons of soda and tea containing much more caffeine than one cup of coffee would have with no problem - so I know it's not a caffeine thing - especially when decaf still makes me sick.
Incidentally, I started smoking in college and kept it up for a few months. Looking back, everytime I smoked I would feel that same way. I can't believe I kept it up as long as I did! My father is allergic to nicotene, and though I've never been tested I have a feeling that I am too.
