Funnily enough this was actually taught to me as a precipitating factor to constipation in a hospitalized patient. If they’re a coffee drinker and / or cigarette smoker at home, and their morning coffee + cigarette has been replaced with shitty weak hospital brew and a patch, their bowel muscles might forget they actually have a job to do. Not that you should encourage bad habits, but you might need to mindfully replace them with another laxative or in some cases just accept that people do things that are unhealthy and you’re not going to fix 20+ years of substance dependence in one stressful AF hospital stay. Still can’t let them actually smoke cigarettes but maybe some gum or a lozenge.
I sometimes feel like I’m the only one who coffee doesn’t do this to. I’ve also never had an issue with taco bell, so the two might be related.
The prophecy is real? The one who’s colon that neither coffee nor the tacos of bell can touch? I am at your service - and will follow you towards your great destiny.
I don’t consider it an issue that coffee helps me poop
I feel like the only people who have issues with coffee and taco bell are people with bad diets to begin with, e.g. so bad that the soluble fiber in Coffee is like 100% of their dietary intake
1 milligram of dietary fiber and the diuretic effect, and that’s the only way they can poo
I have absolutely never had this issue with Taco Bell, but I do with coffee. And the unfortunate thing is that I love the taste of coffee and have it daily. But my colon hates it :(. And no, it’s not a dairy issue or even a caffeine issue…happens with black coffee, decaf, non dairy creamer, etc.
But yeah I could have mounds of Taco Bell with no issues lol. Too bad I don’t have that every day instead.
I hate getting old, I feel the urge to go minutes after getting up now, like clockwork.
it’s an awesome power, if you’re a morning person
I don’t have that time in the morning, every minute I can sleep counts.
I dunno, that kind of regularity sounds admirable.
This is me when the alarm clock goes off. Up and at ‘em, and out.
This happens to me no matter what I drink.
Same here. Whether I start the day with a strong mug of coffee, six litres of olive oil, two cartons on concentrated prune juice, or just a simple handful of laxatives pills, the result is always the same.
This guy takes more oil than my car
breathing gives me gas ¯\(ツ)/¯
I´m having my second morning coffee, so I guess it´s time.
