Question

when i wake up in the morning i have 2 cups of coffee, but before i drink even half a cup of coffee i am running to the restroom to have a very loose bowel movement. I ran out of coffee lastnight and i didn't have any when i woke up, i didn't need to go to the restroom at all. i don't want to give up coffee all together. has anyone had this problem and what did they do. by the way i drink my coffee with sweet n low and non dairy creamer.

Answer 1

In some cases, switching the brand of coffee works wonders.

Answer 2

Coffee is a natural laxative. It's not unusual at all for it to send people to the restroom in a hurry, but if it's as severe as you describe it... you might want to discuss it with a doctor. Conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome will make it much worse, and there are medicines available to help out if that's the case.

Answer 3

You're either allergic to or intolerant of coffee. Same thing happens to my mom if she has orange juice, and I have many food allergies and intolerances, myself. You can skip drinking it for four or five days and then try a little black coffee. If you have the same reaction, you are allergic or to at least intolerant of coffee and you can pretty much give up on the coffee idea. If you don't react to black coffee, it could be what you put in it. But coffee is more likely the problem since you crave it. Coffee allergies are as common as wheat/gluten, corn and milk allergies.

People who have reactions to coffee generally have a reaction to chocolate, leather (wearing it or being around it, not eating it), or drinks that have caffeine, like colas and other sodas/pop and sometimes tea, red wine, berries, and pomegranates. I would investigate these if you react to coffee.

BTW coffee is not a natural laxative. It is a natural diuretic, which means it helps your body get rid of excess water.

Answer 4

Actually your problem is quite normal. Either the coffee itself or the caffiene is a natural laxitive, which sends you to the restroom in a hurry. Maybe if you ate a little something before you drink the coffe it could help, like cereal or a piece of toast. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

It's well known that coffee makes people crap. If it's very loose, try eating something with substance (since it's in the morning, try something breakfasty like eggs, ham, biscuits, etc.) with your coffee; this may not keep you from having to go, but at least it won't be as loose and gross. As long as you don't have any stomach pain with it, it's probably just the coffee.

Answer 6

try replacing the sweet and low and use a dairy creamer see if it make a difference ,sweet and low is artificial and so is the creamer most have some type of oil and corn solids in them .you might have an alergy to some of the ingrediants.sweet and low can irratate the bowls as well.

Answer 7

coffee is a natural laxative but are you also using any type of creamer? this could be the cause as well.

Answer 8

Any warm liquid will give you this effect. I have the same reaction. This is a good thing as it's healthy to eliminate waste from your system especially after slumber. If you didn't do this THEN you would have something to worry about.

Answer 9

u gona have to c the doctor asap. maybe u have stomach infection. i had that for 7 months straight and i havent been to the doctors at all. ive been taking care of it. the best thing sweetie is to drink lots lots of water and ull be fine.

Answer 10

if you're relying on caffiene it's gonna be bad for your health..... try turning to decaf and see if that helps..
