This happened to me recently as well, on a smaller scale.
I typically consume 1 double-shot espresso, 1 green tea, 1 small cup of brew, and sometimes decaf in a day. It's mostly just a part of my work day routine. I used to go some weekend day without caffeine altogether.
Since working remotely at home I don't have a specific caffeine schedule and lost track of my consumption. After one long weekend I didn't consume much/any caffeine but I didn't realize this. On Monday my stomach was uneasy so I drank some water and avoided caffeine because on an empty stomach it can make me feel worse. The next thing that happened was inconceivable. I was curled up in bed clutching my stomach in agony for several hours. It wasn't extreme discomfort but just enough that I didn't want to do anything else. After it eased I had a coffee and everything magically felt perfectly normal. The next day I started to get that same feeling and immediately had a coffee. My day went fine.
