I'm at age 50 and I'm having limitations in what I can eat or not. My body rejects any food that is greasy, like fries. Tends to cause acute diarrhea. I drink a coffee once every morning, only one cup. Sometimes I have the problem much later in the day. No idea if it's connected. You'd think the coffee has totally passed out of my body after six hours. If I eat exactly the right foods, I'm okay.
Do you think it's a good idea to stop drinking coffee if you're a 50-year-old male? There are always purists who say you should never drink coffee at all. There's also an idea you should get a medical when you're 50 and the problems are often in the digestive system.
Are there in fact problems from drinking coffee too much? It causes nervousness and can also be rough on the innards. But a small amount might make no diff at all.
I drink coffee for the same reason as others. Makes me feel more awake in the morning. When I don't, I feel slightly fuzzy but I survive. And I don't have to bother with buying the coffee or throwing away the filter.
I enjoy my one cup of organic coffee to which I add cinnamon and baking soda to the grounds in the coffee filter. I make one fresh cup and have no issues.
If you want a lift, why not a cup of organic green tea...I buy Trader Joe's Yerba Mate and some afternoons I'll have a cup...not often but I have to be drooping.
This almost 80 yr old has so few so called pleasures left and one is a cup of GOOD coffee..
I've cut a lot of other stuff out of my diet that I don't feel are necessary for me but like my cup of joe.
For sweetener and creamer I use stevia and coconut milk creamer.

I am not even going to contemplate giving up coffee. I gave up sex with no problem fourteen years ago and don’t miss it, but I am keeping my coffee.
Do you take it black or with dairy products? Do you have any problems soon after drinking it? I wouldn’t think it would be related to problems later in the day.
Don't be surprised if you find you get a headache. Many people report that when giving up caffeine. Of course, if you're only drinking one cup a day, that may not happen to you.
My doctor believes in the EIM theory. Everything In Moderation.
Check with your health care provider if you should give up that cup. And as HomeIs suggested, ask if it's time for a scope.
I quit all caffeine for over a year. No noticeable health-benefits, went through a horrible withdrawal that I never fully got over, missed drinking coffee dearly, missed the pick-up from the caffeine.
I nitwitishly listened to some internet guru about how wonderful life would be post-caffeine.....yuck!
Try it at least? In the past year coffee quit tasting good to me, even the best/ freshest. I kept trying because I loved it, but I finally considered it might have been connected to allergy symptoms too. No more sinus issues after a few days off if it... I still miss it, but I always said it was usually just the first sip that tasted SO good.
Oh, and the smell....
In place of it I drink black tea. I ended up with less caffeine, but it happened slowly, with no issues.
