Interesting - I just found this.

Coffee Intolerance
Your “coffee tolerance” can be used as a barometer to measure health progression or lack there of. If you improve your tolerance to coffee, you’re likely headed in the right direction nutritionally. If this doesn’t happen, it could be time to reassess your strategies. When your coffee tolerance is poor, it might say that the liver is suffering and is not storing glycogen very well and can’t back you up efficiently (by releasing glycogen) when there is excessive stimulation from coffee.

I am on a diet and a few weeks ago I had a non fasting blood sugar test and it was 79. That is low. Typically it is about 95 to 105 - fasting. I have known for sometime that when I go on a diet I have to go to the bathroom all the time which is due to lower glycogen stores from eating less food and less carb food. Glycogen seeps up water so when your body starts using glycogen stores the water is released.
I have noticed that when I am NOT on a diet, I don't have to go to the bathroom a lot because the water is stored with glycogen. And my water release is more normalized.
It is entirely possible that I am eating a low amount of carbs and simple sugars.
I did just have a liver test too and all was well but, it isn't necessarily about liver function it is about the liver having sufficient glycogen stores.
