* Bacterial infections. Several types of bacteria, consumed through contaminated food or water, can cause diarrhea. Common culprits include Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli.
* Food intolerances. Some people are unable to digest some component of food, such as lactose, the sugar found in milk. Olestra, an ingredient found in fat-free potato chips and ice cream can also cause diarrhea.
* Parasites. Parasites can enter the body through food or water and settle in the digestive system. Parasites that cause diarrhea include Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Cryptosporidium.
* Reaction to drugs, such as antibiotics, blood pressure medications, and antacids containing magnesium. Even too much caffeine can cause diarrhea.
* Intestinal diseases like inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease.
* Functional bowel disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, in which the intestines do not work normally.

Answer 5

Coffee is a mild diaretic, and usually affects urine more than bowel movements, but it affects everyone differently. My theory is to stop drinking the coffee. If you're still suffering from it in a week or so, then coffee isn't the problem. Good luck!
