I read an article that says coffee causes a large number of people to poop. It has that effect on me - normally I’m an every couple of days pooper but a couple cups coffee and I’m in the bathroom two hours later.
You?
Not necessarily. On a weekday, I can have a couple cups with no discernible effect.
Weekend, sitting on the couch or on the deck reading a magazine, after one cup I’m ready to go.
I think it’s more of a relaxation thing for me.
Back when I drank regular coffee, I was definitely a pooper. If I really needed to go, a cigarette plus the coffee would be guaranteed to get things moving.
Yes me too … I thought I was the only coffee pooper.
I only last maybe 30 to 45 minutes with those new Hazelnut creamers added in.
I thought it was the cream being off temperature or something, but it turns out after a little investigation that the body thinks that coffee is a poison and rejects the poison.
This is why the Doctor recommends coffee enema’s (cold of course) and the body will reject it faster cleaning you up good.
I hesitate to drink coffee in public without knowing the nearest restroom.
I wonder how much of a business day is consumed by not only coffee drinkers, but with coffee poopers too.
If I have one on the way coffee will accelerate the process.
I defecate frequently regardless of diet.
Hey, you asked.
I know we’ve covered this before, you are definitely normal, etc., but I just have to chime in and say - as a “regular” daily pooper, the concept of people walking around for a couple of days without dropping the load is quite curious and alien. To me, it’s almost like hearing someone say, “Oh, I only breathe a couple of times a day.”
Yes to coffee pooping! All hail coffee pooping!
I go every day, and I am concerned when I don’t, but my morning coffee always moves the mail, as it were.
I went on vacation with my aunties once and had the most terrible coffee in the entire world, bar none, and gave up coffee for the whole week - and it had an effect on me (namely, constipation). I hope to never have that experience again.
Also I know I am middle aged now because I am talking about poop in public and even ten years ago I would have died first.
Get a little older and that’s all you’ll be talking about.
Noooooooooooooo!!!
I’m not a coffee pooper, but I think that eating or drinking anything helps to get things moving for me in the morning.
I’m not a coffee pooper, but am a walking pooper. If I go for a walk, then I have to poop when I’m done.
Sometimes I only go every third day. But then it’s like the Great Wall of China and can be seen from space…
I often wonder if my irregular pooping habits are why I carry extra weight.
(Anaamika, apparently I’m past that age where one loses any poop talking inhibitions.)
Happens to me fairly often.
Anyone else find that sitting on the john makes it nigh-impossible to completely void the bladder?
It is more of a trigger for me mentally I think than it is chemically. When I get to my shop in the morning I pour my coffee, take a couple of sips and I am ready.
I don’t drink coffee (ever), but caffeine doesn’t do it to me at all. Cigarettes, on the other hands, can make me go from ‘hmmm, I could probably go sometime in the next few hours’ to ‘OMG, bathroom, right now, I’ll finish smoking this later!’. It’s helpful if there’s some reason that I need to get the timing right (eg, going out with friends, wanna take care of this beforehand).
Yep.
I am a coffee pooper.
My mother is an only-every-three-days pooper.
Poop.
Often, which is why I don’t normally drink it. But it doesn’t actually “move things along,” that would be fine. No, it magically turns the contents of my insides into a type 6 or 7. Same with red onions sometimes and especially Taco Bell and other Mexican food.
Other sources caffeine doesn’t (always) have the same effect. Spicy food like Indian does not have the same effect that Mexican does.
