Caffeine is a stimulant which is the family of drugs that is used for suppressing appetite for diet pills. It's possible that her reaction is a physiological to the stimulant, and not the chemicals in coffee, itself.

When I have too much coffee, my stomach feels off, myself.

"Too much" will obviously vary from person to person. – brendo234 Oct 14 '16 at 16:49
@brendo234 - True dat. One good-sized mug of strong coffee is pretty much my limit. – PoloHoleSet Oct 14 '16 at 17:27
