I agree; short-term symptomatic relief from black-coffee may be like

the " hair of the dog " - the effect of the first alcoholic dring on the

morning of a hangover!

 

I would suspect " masked allergy " / coffee intolerance [as in the

books by Richard Mackarness ( " Not All in the Mind " ), Dr.

Brenemann (?spelling??; I forget the title but it was on food

allergies).

 

Those who have not read Mackarness and Brenemann (or others)

on the topic of masked allergies/food intolerance are missing a treat.

 

Some of my most astonishing results [in humans] were in helping

sufferers to identify the culprit foods/drinks. Their removal led to

some dramatic immprovements in S & Ss that had been there for a

long time before that.

 

 

Best regards,
