The immune system defends the body against potentially harmful foreign substances by identifying and responding to them. Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance. In such cases, the body subsequently produces Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that aid in the fight against the antigen. Moreover, the body produces histamine, which triggers allergic reactions in the body's numerous internal systems.

A coffee allergy develops when the immune system perceives coffee beans as a harmful invader. Some symptoms of a coffee allergy include:

  • A rapid decline in blood pressure or a weak pulse
  • A wheezing cough
  • Breathing difficulties or shortness of breath
  • Cramps in the stomach or abdomen
  • Diarrhoea
  • Hives or red spots on the skin
  • Loss of awareness or dizziness
  • Paler skin colour 
  • Swallowing difficulties
  • Vomiting and nausea

Most people who start to feel sick after drinking coffee are caffeine sensitive and don’t actually have a coffee allergy. Adults should consume no more than 400 mg of caffeine per day. That's the caffeine content of about four eight-ounce coffees. More than 500 to 600 mg may cause jitteriness or other adverse effects. People who do not regularly consume a lot of caffeine may even have symptoms with just one cup.

The coffee allergy arises from green coffee beans. They cause one to have an allergic reaction to coffee and sometimes cause anaphylaxis, characterised by the following:

  • A rapid pulse
  • Anxiety and confusion
  • Breathing problems, such as rapid, shallow breathing
  • Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
  • Wheezing
  • Losing consciousness or collapsing
  • Clammy skin

However, a coffee allergy is not life-threatening. Those with caffeine sensitivity or coffee allergy should avoid certain foods, such as:

  • Coffee
  • Sports drinks  
  • Certain teas, including black, green, Pu’er, Oolong, white, etc.
  • Some sodas and soft drinks
  • Specific meal or exercise bars
  • Cocoa
  • Chocolate

Avoiding these foods can help you feel better since an allergic reaction to coffee can be highly distressing. Moreover, a caffeine sensitivity along with a coffee allergy can result in an anxiety response too.

Allergy skin testing and IgE antibody coffee allergy test are the quickest and most accurate methods of determining a coffee allergy. Genetic testing is less typically employed to detect a coffee allergy.

However, your healthcare provider may use them to find mutations in the ADORA2A gene. A positive test result indicates a coffee allergy, whereas a negative test result indicates an intolerance towards it.

Hence, avoiding coffee or related substances is the best way to ensure that one does not experience an allergic reaction to coffee. Apollo 24|7 offers a comprehensive coffee allergy test at a reasonable rate and delivers results promptly, allowing one to start treatment at the earliest.

Frequently asked questions

The basic rule for anyone with coffee sensitivity is to avoid caffeine. Some foods to avoid in case one is diagnosed with coffee allergy include chocolate, certain teas with concentrates of caffeine, sports and energy drinks, energy bars, etc.
Some rarer symptoms of an allergic reaction to coffee may include heart palpitations, heartburn, insomnia, nervousness, irritability, and muscle tremors.
Like most other allergies, coffee allergy does not go away. However, one can eliminate coffee or coffee products from their diet to avoid triggering an allergic reaction to coffee. Further, cutting out any caffeine source can also be effective in preventing allergic reactions.
There are no treatments for coffee allergy. However, limiting caffeine intake works wonders in eliminating the symptoms. Further, if an individual has more physical symptoms such as swelling and rashes, a healthcare provider may prescribe over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines or decongestants.
Caffeine sensitivity is an oversensitivity to caffeine's effects of lowering adenosine and boosting adrenaline. However, a coffee allergy is an immune system reaction involving IgE antibodies.
Coffee allergy and caffeine sensitivity are not synonymous. Hence, while someone who has tested positive on a coffee allergy test can also be sensitive to caffeine, it is not completely necessary. However, it is best to avoid the compound since coffee is the primary source of caffeine in most caffeine products.
