Drinking coffee may cause diarrhea.
Coffee contains caffeine, which has a certain stimulating effect on the gastric mucosa, and can promote the secretion of gastric acid and cause gastrointestinal peristalsis to accelerate. Therefore, for patients suffering from dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, reflux esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, etc., drinking coffee may cause abdominal discomfort such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gastric pain, acid reflux, heartburn, loss of appetite and other abdominal symptoms.
Whether drinking coffee will cause diarrhea needs to be judged according to the patient’s own physical condition and the amount of coffee consumed.
If the patient’s gastrointestinal function is good, drinking coffee in moderation, drinking coffee may not cause diarrhea; if the patient’s physical quality is poor, suffering from gastric ulcer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and other digestive diseases, and drinking a lot of coffee, the probability of diarrhea after drinking coffee will increase.
If drinking coffee causes diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment if necessary.
