I don't drink it in large amounts, in fact, I try to avoid drinking it all together. Every now and then when I'm dragging at work I have a cup of coffee (never any more) and within the first few sips I start to feel sick. Could it be some sort of instant caffeine shock to my system? I rarely drink pop and I'd pass out face first on my keyboard before I would drink an energy drink.

1. Apparently I forgot to mention "serious answers only, please" so we'll start with that.
2. I also said "Every now and then" It's not always possible to get 8 hours of sleep every single night.
3. Again, I said "Every now and then" It's not an addiction, so it's not like a cigarette to me.
4. Thank you to anyone who leaves an actual genuine answer.

There is no such thing as making coffee the ideal way to avoid making people feeling sick after drinking coffee. 1) Coffee is loaded with acid and caffeine and many people are allergic to both the acid and caffeine. (For this reason alone they may feel seek of have tachycardia, (Rapid pulse & heart beat) Reason coffee is a stimulant. (Myself I can have one teaspoon of coffee and I will get tachycardia). 2) The acid in coffee some times affects the lining of some people's stomach if the are sensitive, and they will feel sick. 3) If the water that you use is tap water perhaps where you reside the water is not clean enough and this can make a person sick. (I boil all my water no matter what country I am in the world. When the water cools I place in the refrigerator. 4) Moderation or excessive is really not the real issue. Reason there are many people who will have adverse reactions to one tablespoon of coffee. (Like Coco Cola, I use the drink to clean my toilet of any stains from hard water). Excellent house hold cleaner. Has loads of acid & caffeine, with reactions same as coffee if one is allergic. Please excuse my English, not my primary language. Mind Doctor, France

If your body isn't used to large amounts or small amounts of coffee it will not be able to process the type of caffeine coffee has ( cause I've been drinking it my hole life can't go without it) you probably will get sick or if your system isn't used to the or
Maybe you have some sorta of allergies ( most people can't drink coffee at all)

Coffee is a drink that has caffeine. Caffeine like what thry say is an antioxidant. But, antioxidants are not really like those magic potions that can can cure cancer. It can help a bit but not that big. It has just few carcinogenic substances than any other drinks or beverages. Well, as far as i know it's a stimulant that stimulates your CNS, making you work even more. Stop drinking coffee, it's just like cigaratte.

You could have a caffeine, or coffee allergy. If the reaction happens when you take water pills, drink lots of hot chocolate, or take diet pills, then you have a caffeine allergy. You will just have to be careful and read ingredients. If you are able to take diet pills, and drink hot chocolate, but have an allergic reaction with decaffeinated coffee, then it is most likely a coffee allergy.

Possibly you are alergic or senstive to caffeine or something else in the coffee.
If your heart starts to race, etc it is definately the caffeine.
If it doesn't affect you with pop, it may be something in the coffee or what the coffee beans were treated with (insecticides, etc.)
If it is an allergy or a sensitivity, the only thing you can do is avoid it. Maybe wake up by splashing cold water on your face.

You're probably allergic to coffee. Perhaps try some tea or energy drinks and see if your body can handle them. Good luck :)

Coffee can be very caustic to the stomach as it is hardly a natural food, but it could also be the milk/cream & sweetner you add to it also. If you need a pick-up, try green tea. It does not give you a "wired" pick up and you hardly feel the difference, but it is better than regular tea or coffee.
If neither of these appeal to you, then go on line and obtain ginseng vials. These are very small vials of liquid that will provide sustained energy....and will not do anything bad to your system.

It could be the caffeine...or maybe lactose intolerance. Do you use milk?
It could also be the malic acid in the coffee irritating your stomach. You could try a low acid coffee (I think Folgers makes one, and Trader Joe's has a low acid French roast).
I made it through college with little caffeine by drinking "spicy " herb teas to stay awake- Celestial Seasonings' Bengal Spice flavor worked really well. (it has black pepper in it, though, which may also irritate your stomach), as will the seasonal flavor with gingerbread men on the box (I can't remember the name). Also, Yogi Teas makes a ginger tea that is very tummy-friendly and will perk you up in no time.
NOTE: if you find lots of foods upset your stomach, see a doctor ASAP! It could be nothing, it could be a food sensitivity, or it could be Acid Reflux/ GERD.
