Question:

Why do i have to poop an hour after drinking red bull?

i drink a red bull in the morning with my cereal and an hour later i have to poop. i hate this. is it just the caffiene? i have a feeling it's one of the other ingredients.


Answers:
Caffeine increases intestinal peristalsis (the contractions of the colon) and can act as a laxative. Many individuals use caffeine to help with “regulation.”

What do you think it means when they say "Red Bull gives you wings?"

Wait... that doesn't make sense. Hmm...

maybe your body i just used to going at that time? i think caffeine is a laxative.

could be the cereal. could be, yer full o crap!!

The caffeine and citric acid cause the problem. However, the end result seems inevitable. Might as well get it out of the way.

Wow.... I have the same problem... only with Monster... I <3 Monster... Maybe its coz you are actually eating along with it and that food is being digested during the hour... therefore... poopy must come... i dunno though... not much help im sure, but at least now you know you are not alone........ =)

Caffine, just like nicotine, stimulates the digestive tract, that is the reason coffee does the same to many people in the mornings, and smokers want a cigarette after they eat.

Could be the sugar, could be the caffeine. Coffee tends to have a stool loosening effect, so it makes sense Red Bull would too.
