My tolerance for coffee seems to have deteriorated gradually over the years. I used to drink it daily with no problems. Then, maybe 3 years ago, I started noticing that I was getting more D than normal (even for me). It took me weeks (probably months) to figure out that it was my daily coffee giving me this almost daily bout of D. So I stopped drinking it, period, for a few months. Then I started having one about once a week. I was fine this way, it seemed I could handle it just once a week. It became my weekly treat. Then, a few months ago, it started giving me D again, maybe 1 time in 3. Then 1 in 2. Then I figured out that maybe I should stop drinking it for good.
Now, this is Tim Hortons coffee that I'm talking about. Starbucks coffee has ALWAYS been a major laxative for me. I could never tolerate it. Although for some reason I never had trouble with their frapps. Someone on the board once said that she could tolerate their soy lattes, so I know that one day I'll break down and have to try it.
