The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Like SteveKirk said, your body's reaction to coffee can also change rapidly without much warning. I had a switch-flip moment too and I can basically no longer drink it. I ask about salty food specifically because if your gut is kind of weak eating a lot of salt can dump water into it, so it depends if you always eat a salty breakfast/drink electrolytes in the morning. w/r/t alcohol, that's certainly possible. If it happens on days when you didn't drink the night before, it's probably not an acute effect, just that your gut health may be poor in general and alcohol isn't helping. I'd take a look at your diet and try to shift overall to something better for your gut.
You can't drink coffee anymore? What actuality happend? It isn't random.
It's not that I literally can't drink coffee any more, but I have to combine it with some kind of light morning exercise, moving around, etc. If I drink it while WFHing I get crazy jittery. Started pretty soon after I went to WFH. Then abstaining from coffee does other things to tolerance - e.g. drip coffee sits much worse on my stomach, and I have a strong stomach when it comes to other stuff. Can still do energy drinks, tea, etc. just fine.
May run in the family, my mum consumed heroic quantities of coffee when she was working, then one day it started giving her awful headaches and she was on decaf for two decades.

I think this is the case. My diet is complete garbage, but I wouldn't expect it to turn my poop liquid. Thanks all for the responses. I'll have to improve what I eat I guess.
Yeah a bad diet will make your intestines more permeable in such a way that your body's more likely to dump water in there, or at least that's what I've heard the link is.
