Question:

Love energy drinks, but they always make me have to crap afterwards. Does this happen to anyone else?

It's kind of inconvenient if I am riding my bike or throwing the frisbee around outside somewhere. Is there an energy drink that doesn't have this side effect?


Answers:

Drink water instead, or Gatorade at worst.

The energy drinks have a very high osmotic load, and when they enter the GI tract, in some people (you), it can cause a rush of water from your body to enter the GI tract to balance the high concentration. This can cause the urge to BM or worse, diarrhea.
