MODERATORS
I'm not lactose intolerant, but I have been thinking that maybe I've started developing an intolerance ever since I stopped drinking so much milk.
Caffeine is already pretty much a laxative though and I've never had a particularly strong sweet tooth, so large amount of sugar + caffeine O_o. Fake sugar is even worse because it makes my stomach hurt a lot, plus it just tastes awful.
Energy drinks tend to use pure caffeine powder, so maybe you're having a reaction to the other chemical compounds, like Theophylline. If you homebrew, you can reduce them by using various techniques, like using filtered water instead of tap and adjusting the temperature.
