Coffee makes me shit?? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I've been drinking coffee since I was 5 years old. Lately I've noticed that I've had to take a shit after drinking a few cups. What gives? Does this happen to anyone else?

Nothing unusual with that -- coffee is a natural laxative.

According to this guy (how believable he is I don't know), the caffeine stimulates your intestinal nerves, increasing contractions: http://www.drweil.com/app/cda/drw_cd...glossaryId=148

Sympathetic magic, my friend: like makes like. What else other than coffee is brown and steaming?

I'm sorry, but that just too funny!

The caffeine in coffee is a dieuretic (sp?), which makes you poop and pee.

Well I guess that explains it then. I'm also guessing stronger coffee has more of an effect, because I am drinking stronger coffee now compared to what I used to drink.

I'm not coffee expert, but by stronger, I'm assuming that means more caffeine. So that would make sense. Try some expressos. Sometimes I'm dead tired and I have a Starbucks Double Shot. Wakes you up, and clears out your colon.

By stronger I mean darker, and I don't use cream or milk anymore either..

Those starbucks double shot things don't do anything for me.. I drank two and felt nothing.
