You likely have an undetected stomach ulcer, and the caffeine is aggravating it, leading you to vomit. Or, it could just be irritating your stomach without an ulcer. Caffeine is a known gastric irritant.

Coffee allergy is caused when you have an immune reaction to the protein that is found in coffee beans. After drinking coffee, you can end up with a collection of symptoms • A rash on the skin • Cramps • Diarrhea • Feeling sick and throwing up • Runny nose • Watery eyes and coughing What is interesting about coffee allergies is that by producing chemical imbalance in the human body it can imitate even emotional diseases. According to Dr. McManamy and Dr. Schube, caffeine allergic reactions can produce alternating states of delirium and mania, resembling schizophrenia. The doctors stated that some patients have been diagnosed as they have a mental illness. As a result of coffees stimulating effects the allergic signs or symptoms are sometimes well hidden. Coffee drinking increases the adrenaline (epinephrine) found in human body. Epinephrine is used to halt allergic reaction and with the combined stimulate effect can product delusions. When the adrenaline is breaking down it can produce the symptoms of schizophrenia. A high level of creatine phosphokinase (CPK MM) has been amongst caffeine toxicity. Many studies conducted in the last century revealed that a high level of CPK MM was present in patients diagnosed to have mental disorders, mania, BPD, clinical depression, catatonia and schizophrenia. Lots of the studies attributed the elevated CPK MM levels with mental disorders but nevertheless, none of the studies focused on caffeinated drinks allergies as a contributing factor. Most of the recent studies have overlooked caffeine allergies as having any element in any mental diseases. Doctor Bengzon proposed, in the late 1960's that high levels of creatine phosphokinase might be an additional element in explaining schizophrenia. Patients were not put on restricted diets and the study centered on medicament and various factors but failed to include caffeine as a possible factor. Dr Marshal Mandell of Norwak, Connecticute has found that 90 percent of the patients that where hospitalized were allergic to one or more of the common allergy causing food products; wheat, corn, and milk. Are mental problems the result of coffee and food allergy? A lot more research needs to be done to determine if allergies of any type are the reason or have a contributing element in mental illness problems. The treatment of the symptoms for mental illness instead of finding the cause of mental illness is a good disservice to our mentally ill patients by our medical experts.You should visit your doctor if you think you have a coffee allergy.
