Jakarta –

There are many side effects of drinking coffee. Some people experience nausea and vomiting after drinking coffee. It turns out that this was triggered by several things.

Coffee can be a healthy or dangerous drink depending on a person’s body condition. Apart from that, there is also the amount of coffee you drink every day.

Normally people are advised to drink four cups of coffee, or the equivalent of 400 mg of caffeine a day. As recommended by the United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

But there are also many people who still experience side effects even though they have followed the coffee recommendations mentioned. One of them experienced nausea and vomiting which apparently had its own cause.

1. Diuretic Effect

One of the reasons why people often feel nauseous or vomit after drinking coffee is because coffee has laxative or diuretic properties. This causes people to urinate frequently, to remove water from the body.

“This diuretic effect encourages the body to release fluid into the digestive tract, which can cause nausea and vomiting and even diarrhea,” said Lisa Richards, nutritionist and author of the book ‘The Candida Diet’.

2. Milk and Sweetener

Apart from physical health conditions, the use of milk and sweeteners in coffee concoctions apparently contributes to the effects of nausea and vomiting after drinking coffee. The addition of these ingredients sometimes irritates the stomach, ultimately making people nauseous.

Especially for those who drink coffee with added artificial sweeteners which can trigger stomach aches. The effects of stomach problems can make people feel unwell after drinking coffee.

There are also people who are allergic to milk because they are lactose-intolerant. Drinking coffee that contains milk or diary products can cause nausea or diarrhea.

3. Gastric Acid

Stomach acid is the ‘enemy’ for most coffee drinkers. Many of them experience increased stomach acid after drinking this caffeinated drink. Then one of the effects is nausea.

Why does this happen? Most coffee has an acidity degree (pH) of 4.85 to 5.10, which means coffee is an acidic drink, according to a study published in 2018 in Scientific Reports. Then the human stomach itself actually has an acidic environment.

When you drink coffee, the acidity levels in your stomach automatically increase, causing discomfort in your stomach. The presence of this acid can speed up the digestion of food in the stomach, which makes some people immediately want to go to the toilet after drinking coffee.

The presence of excess acid can also cause symptoms of nausea. “For those who have acid reflux, drinking coffee can actually make you nauseous,” says nutritionist Marie Spano. Because of this, those who experience chronic acid reflux, aka GERD, may be more susceptible to nausea after drinking coffee.
