Why do I get the runs after drinking coffee?
I have been drinking coffee for ever 6 year now. When I first started I was drinking lots of coffee 6+ cups a day, as I was running a coffee venture for my platoon in the Army. I did urinate a lot, but never did I have the runs. Since then I have cut back on my intake of coffee, no more than 32 ounces a day, most days its 16 ounces. But recently, the last two weeks or so, I have noticed that within 10 minutes of my first sip of coffee, i have to go to the bathroom and the runs ensue. I have read, not sure it is entirely true or not, but I did read that coffee is a laxative. Why all of a sudden is this happening to me after drinking coffee for many years? What can I do to stop or lessen the runs, without stopping drinking coffee?
