Yes, too much coffee increases acidity drastically, which makes you feel nauseous and throw up. Try drinking some lukewarm water with a bit of ginger and lemon juice to calm your stomach. Avoid coffee on an empty stomach completely, and see a doctor if it doesn't stop.
I can only speak from my own experience. Whenever I had more than three cups of filter coffee on an empty stomach, I ended up vomiting due to intense acid reflux. Once I restricted coffee to post-breakfast, the nausea stopped.
Excess coffee increases 'pitta' or acid in the body, leading to vomiting. Practicing sheetali pranayama can cool your digestive tract and reduce this irritation. Please listen to your body, minimize coffee, and let a doctor guide you if vomiting continues.
Our bodies are very sensitive, and too much caffeine disturbs the natural inner balance. Please take rest, stay positive, and drink simple coconut water to soothe your stomach. If you are unable to keep food down, please visit a doctor soon.
My fitness app tracks my gut health, and too much caffeine can definitely irritate the gastric lining, triggering vomiting. Try tracking your intake and stop before you hit that threshold. If you keep vomiting, make sure to seek medical advice to prevent dehydration.
