After a tumbler of coffee I’ll have to run to the bathroom like 4 times just in the morning, why does that happen? Is it just the caffeine that does it?
In: Biology
There’s multiple factors but the major one is that after sleeping 8 hours you need to poop but sleeping kinda shuts down the need to poop so drinking/eating something starts it back up again also coffee helps stimulate your intenstines a little so that helps too
All that is truly known about the effects of coffee on the intestines is that it appears to stimulate intestinal muscles and makes things go. Both regular and decaf have been proven to be effective, however regular does have a more pronounced effect.
Why that is exactly is unknown.
Oftentimes coffee is the first thing we consume in the morning so the BM is attributed to the coffee. The GI system slows down significantly when you are asleep. Activity in the stomach is a trigger to start back up again. So, if you had a carrot first thing every day you would attribute the BM to the carrot.
Front what I remember yes caffeine is a laxative aswell, also you maybe hyper sensitive to it aswell so it makes it worse for you aswell.
I always thought it was the cream doing something. Normally don’t have that reaction with black coffee but maybe that is just me?
