I actually prefer black coffee because super sugary coffee like Starbucks = AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH especially if it's got that fake sugar shit in it like sucralose, aspartame, etc.

Yeah sugar and sweeteners don't bother me (although you might want to make sure that isn't a lactose allergy or intolerance because I've been there too 😅) but I specifically called out black coffee to mean that like energy drinks for example don't make me feel that way despite having around 4x as much caffeine on average. On the other hand, any drink that is more coffee than any other additive will make me jittery and anxious. So I'm not sure if it's specifically the caffeine that does it for me or some other component of coffee.

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.
