💩 The Real Reason Coffee Makes You Poop (And Why That’s Actually a Good Thing)
☕ Why Does Coffee Make You Poop?
Science says it’s more than just caffeine. Coffee activates your gastrocolic reflex—a normal reaction where your stomach tells your colon, “Brace yourself, more is coming!” It ramps up the hormones gastrin and cholecystokinin, which trigger contractions in your digestive tract.
Even decaf has this effect, which means this isn’t just about caffeine. It’s about your entire digestive system going, “Yup. Time to go.”

🧠 Your Gut-Brain Axis Is Literally Wired for This
Your enteric nervous system (aka your gut's own “second brain”) is tightly connected to your actual brain. When you drink coffee, it stimulates this system—sort of like giving your gut a pep talk. It’s all part of that magical, slightly chaotic thing called the gut-brain axis.
Coffee is like your colon’s morning alarm. Except it doesn’t hit snooze.

💩 Why Pooping After Coffee Is Actually Good For You
Pooping regularly is a sign of a healthy gut. Coffee acts as a mild natural laxative for many people, which can help with bloating, toxin elimination, and even mental clarity. Your microbiome is celebrating every time you go.
Plus, there are even hospitals that use coffee enemas to get things moving post-surgery. (Don’t try that at home—unless you’re really committed.)

⚖️ Not Everyone Gets the Urge—But If You Do, Congratulations
Only about 30% of people get the coffee-poop connection, and it’s slightly more common in women. If you don’t experience it? No biggie. If you do? It’s not weird. It’s biological efficiency, baby.
The trick is not overdoing it. Too much coffee can dehydrate you and slow things down—so balance your sips with water, food, and maybe a moment of silence for your bathroom plumbing.
🧻 TL;DR

Coffee = digestive wake-up call
-
It’s not just the caffeine
-
Pooping = healthy, and coffee helps
-
Embrace the reflex, wear it loud, and stay hydrated
