Hello everyone,
I have come here because I have failed to find the answer elsewhere on the internet.
About a year ago, I switched from using A LOT of milk/cream in my coffee to going 100% black dark roast. I used to love it but oddly haven't missed it.
On a few occasions I've been faced with the choice of drinking medium roast or nothing.
So of course I drank the medium roast.
However, I've noticed a rather concerning reaction to it, and it's getting worse.
After drinking medium roast, within 20-30 minutes, I feel sick to my stomach, tired, headache, and just generally bad. Like lay down and rest bad. It lasts for about 2 hours!!
The last time it happened, I drank only about two ounces, and that was enough.
I can drink all the dark roast I want and do not have any reaction whatsoever. So I don't think it's related to caffeine.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm thinking there is some compound I'm sensitive to in medium roast, that is destroyed by the extra roasting time in the dark roast.
Any info/experiences would be cool.
Thanks!
