    Ok, so I get the meme/reference - but I can’t relate at all and need to ask. Is this a real thing?

    I started drinking coffee only 5-6 years ago, have 2-3 cups in the morning. Sometimes nothing else, sometimes a little food. I have NEVER had to “run to the bathroom” due to coffee. Except to pee all the water out.

    Am I broken?

      Caffeine is a stimulant and it creates bowel contractions. If it doesn’t make you have to poop, it’s probably due to your BM schedule. You might be one of those people who poop in the afternoon or something.

      I drink one cup of coffee in the morning. Once that cup is done I will definitely need access to a bathroom within the next hour or so. I’ve never had to “run” to the bathroom, but it does become quite… persistent after that
