Coffee drinkers read?!
Coffee drinkers read?
I drink coffee every single day... and I find that when I don't drink it I can't crap until I get some coffee in my system. Is this bad?
Answers:
Interesting, but not bad. Caffeine combines with stomach acid and forms a toxin, caffeine hydrochloride. As this toxin hits your liver, bile is released in an attempt to flush the toxin from your system, which in turn causes bowel movements. So what you might be experiencing is your body has gotten used to this regularity, so when you don't drink coffee it doesn't follow this process anymore. It's not necessarily bad, but does mean you are addicted to caffeine and coffee, so you have to decide if that's okay.
If it really bothers you, a way to get your body back to normal is to take some laxatives while you're getting off the coffee, and eventually your body will return to how it should normally operate. Be careful not to become too reliant on the laxatives too.
