When someone does a tbsp of coconut oil in coffee for the first time and has an upset stomach...does that mean allergens? intense healing of the intestine?

Any and all thoughts would be great?

A tablespoon is a lot for a first time dose. I've usually heard it recommended to start with a smaller amount, like a teaspoon, and gradually work up. I wouldn't be too concerned about it -- just try again starting with a teaspoon.

It doesn't seem to make sense to consume coconut oil that way. It's to fry things.

If you want something like an energy boost, maybe try MCT oil gradually (starting with half a teaspoon). Since a lot of the coconut oil can and will be stored, I think consuming it by itself or in coffee is similar to consuming excess carbohydrates which will turn to fat.
