Alcohol, Coffee, and allergy/asthma like reactions after...

Hey all Happy New Year! I hope you all are doing well! I haven’t been on for a little while but wanted to check in and ask some questions about allergic reactions to coffee and alcohol I’ve been having and see if any of you can relate and what you do about it.

So a couple days ago I was drinking a Dr. Zevia and about hour later felt very nauseated and just out of it. I later found out that coffee bean extract is the caffeine they use in those drinks. Every time I drink caffeinated coffee I get super nauseated and just usually feel lousy the rest of the day. However if I drink caffeinated tea or caffeinated regular sodas I’m totally fine. Anyone else here experience that?

Also last night being New Years I had some drinks. However an hour or so later I started getting a tight throat and thick phlegm. I still have it today. I’m probably going to use an inhaler as that actually does help to calm this symptom down. So I’m just also wondering if I’m allergic to something in alcohol and get an “asthma like reaction” to it?

These are symptoms that have developed over the last 3 years or so and so I was wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar and what to do?

Thanks for all and hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

These sound like possible MCAS issues to me, but I am not very knowledgeable about MCAS. Hopefully some others will chime in...
