Coffee and bowel movements

by Babygotback, Nov 28, 2006 12:00AM

Tags: bowel, Weight, Weight Loss, diarrhea, Forgive, irritation, motility, irritable bowel, irritable

I didn't know what topic area this should go under so please forgive me.
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Everytime I drink coffee my bowels move and my urine smells like coffee. Is this normal? Does anyone know why this happens.

Thanks,
Babygotback

Yes, it is normal. Coffee has compounds that increase motility in the stomach and can cause some irritation in the lining of the stomach, either causing diarrhea or increasing bowel movements.

Thanks for the info. I think I will cut coffee out of my diet. I tried decaf but it still makes me a little edgy. The extra bowel movements are no fun either.

Thanks again,

Foldgers just came out with a nice coffee that's easy on your stomach. Couldn't hurt right?

I have been having this same problem, but I take the b12/myoden shot with the phen pills. Does anyone know if this is normal? This happens at different times of the day with a lot of gas with it. I am sorry to be so graphic.
