Dh used to love coffee, but now he can't drink it. He doesn't want to talk about why :P Just that it bothers his stomach. It must be bad for him to give it up! Unfortunately...he needs the caffeine when he has a migraine.
I know it was bothering me, part of the IBS diagnosis (they call it a trigger food...not an allergy ) and I tested IgG moderate even though I haven't had it in years. On another board I read that coffee allergy can be related to other legume allergies. I'm not sure there was any evidence to back that up besides the food families chart. |

I was just reading on a Candida site about how coffee tends to kill off the friendly bacteria in one's gut. No studies cites or anything ... it was just thrown out there. I thought I'd mention it for what it was worth. I would think with gluten intolerance, we would want all the nice bacteria we could get. |

I actually had a headache for 2 months straight when I was drinking coffee everyday a number of years ago. When I stopped drinking the coffee, the headache went away.
I seem to have problems now with anything (chocolate, tea, etc.) that has caffeine in it. They all give me headaches. |

Yes, there does appear to be two different issues with coffee- the allergy to the coffee bean proteins and the sensitivity to caffeine. If you put "coffee allergy" in the search, you will find a fair amount about both.
I think that I am over my caffeine sensitivity now that I have been 7 years gluten and dairy free. According to what I have read, it can take a full year for all of the casomorphins and gliadomorphins from dairy and gluten, respectively, to leave your brain and for the neurons to return to normal once these foods have been eliminated from the diet. Now I guess I'm down to the coffee allergy, since the caffeine in tea or the rare cola does not bother me at all. Gotta love those casomorphins and gliadomorphins. John |

I am not a coffee drinker however the few times that I have drank coffee. I feel awful. My stomach gets upset and I get a headache. I always wondered if I didn't have an allergy to it. Thank goodness it it not a drink that I crave and can't get through the day without
