Have you ever felt, shortly after drinking coffee, stomach ached and wanted to defecate? However, true coffee stimulates the emergence of a desire to defecate?
As is known so far that coffee, especially caffeine, is a diuretic. That is, the coffee making process more body fluids than usual which causes frequent urination. The diuretic effect of caffeine can vary based on many factors, such as gender, activity, and so on. However, caffeine also has a laxative effect for those who are sensitive. Chemical substances caffeine stimulates contractions in the intestines. The effect is exactly as abdominal pain after eating.
However, this effect only applies to coffee. According to William DePaolo, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the Keck School of Medicine, at the regular coffee pencaharnya effect is much greater than in the low caffeinated coffee. A glass of brewed coffee can contain between 80 and 135 milligrams of caffeine, while Coca Cola only contains 34 milligrams kafeine. That is why soda do not have a laxative effect and we do not want to defecate after drinking.
Acid in coffee causes an increase in the production of bile in the body. Once produced, the liver stores bile in a bag. Coffee making gallbladder releases bile into the intestine. That's why coffee making wants to defecate and sometimes to diarrhea.
According to Dr. Jay Kuemmerle of American Gastroenterogical Association, in addition to seeds, coffee containing added artificial sweeteners and a little milk, so it feels stronger. Artificial sweeteners can be led to flatulence and diarrhea. Meanwhile, the addition of milk or cream also trigger diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems, especially in those who have lactose intolerant.
So, how much coffee should be consumed? According to the International Foundation for Gastrointenstinal Disorder, more than two or three cups of coffee can cause diarrhea. Switching low caffeine coffee consumption may reduce the laxative effect before, though not eliminate it completely.
