A member asked:

How do i know if i have a caffeine or coffee allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Distinctly rare: Caffeine allergy is distinctly unusual. There have only been case reports and it is not entirely clear that these were true ige mediated reactions. There is some guidance in literature on how to test for suspected caffeine allergy.
