    When I was in college, I worked across the street for a Starbucks. I used to always go there for a cup of coffee, take a few sips, and go to my desk. Every day at exactly 9:30 I had to take a shit. Like clockwork.

      For some reason my body seems to learn a schedule for going to the bathroom, regardless of whether it’s solid or liquid.

      Same, except that I’m up at 5, out the door by 6. You’d think I’d learn to smash that first cup at 5.10-5.15 and poop before I go…but who’s the idiot slamming a cup on the way out the door and hustling from the bus to site every day? That’s right, it’s me…

      The coffeine and chlorogenic acids (also found in eggplants, peaches and plums) in coffee stimulate the bowels which then can lead to bowel movement in some people.
