Re: Does Coffee make you go?
Recently I had something similar for a couple weeks, but it seems to have cleared up now. Seems as though I had to go every 15 minutes, and when I had to go I had to go, and had maybe 20 seconds to get to the bathroom. That, and only a very small dribble would come out each time, and 15 minutes later, off I went to the bathroom again and same thing. Wasn't painful, just annoying.
Lasted about two weeks, and just cleared up on its own a few days ago actually. Not sure what that was about, but since it's never happened to me before, only thing I can think of is I accidentally drank a little bit of cleaner for the coffee maker right around the time this started. My mom cleaned out the coffee maker, but didn't rinse it out well enough, so when I made a cup, it was mixed with a bit of the cleaner. I drank about 80% of the cup, before asking my mom to taste it, and sure enough it was off and she knew why. No idea if that's what caused it or not, but since it's never happened to me before, that's the only thing I can think of. Maybe caused a mild bladder infection, or something.

Maybe worth getting the prostate checked.

:yes:
I have found that if I drink too much coffee (just as with lager) I fall prey to terrible heartburn and gastric reflux. I have knocked coffee on the head this week and no reflux! Similarly with alcohol. I have been giving the liver a much-deserved rest this month (alcohol free) and I feel like a new man (Eh, maybe I should re-word that last bit)?
Re: Does Coffee make you go?
Honestly, I see no mystery here. Coffee is a well known diuretic.

The initial post was most certainly not referring to urine!
Re: Does Coffee make you go?
Again no mystery here as coffee is well known to be a general helpful bowel movement device ( depending on your current bowel movements I guess), especially in the mornings after your first cup of the day.
My god we cover some topics on this board ! :/)

Yes, we do cover a multitude of topics here in everything else!
Is increasing age a factor, as have never had a problem before...and I'm a long time coffee drinker.
