Greetings, iam Kermit Spencer, Promise me you’ll have a good time.
Ah, coffee - it’s the lifeblood of so many of us! But for some, that morning cup o’ joe can make them feel sick. Whether it’s an upset stomach or a headache, coffee can be the culprit. So what gives? Let’s take a look at why coffee might be making you feel under the weather and what you can do about it.
Why Does Even Decaf Coffee Make Me Feel Sick? [Solved]
Well, decaf coffee may give you more than just a jolt of energy - it could also give you heartburn! Research has shown that drinking decaf can cause an increase in gastrin, the hormone that stimulates the production of stomach acid. Too much of this can lead to acidity and all its unpleasant symptoms.
Caffeine Sensitivity: Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others, and can experience nausea or other digestive issues after drinking coffee.
Too Much Coffee: Drinking too much coffee can cause an upset stomach, as the body is unable to process the large amount of caffeine quickly enough.
Acidic Beverage: Coffee is an acidic beverage, which can irritate the stomach lining and lead to feelings of nausea or discomfort.
Dehydration: Caffeine is a diuretic, meaning it causes dehydration which can lead to feelings of sickness when drinking coffee in excess.
Food Allergies/Intolerances: People with food allergies or intolerances may experience digestive issues after consuming coffee due to its ingredients such as milk and sugar substitutes like stevia or artificial sweeteners like Splenda®
Ugh, coffee’s making me feel sick. I’m not a fan of the way it’s affecting me - it’s like my stomach can’t handle it. I guess I’ll have to lay off the java for a while.
