Drinking coffee stimulates the production of stomach acid, which makes the digestive system work more actively. <\/p>\n\n<p>Coffee also affects intestinal motility. The wave-like contractions move food through the digestive tract, as a result of which the intestinal contents move faster, and the body signals the need to use the toilet. <\/p>\n\n<p>Another important mechanism is the gastrocolic reflex. This is a natural reaction of the body when the large intestine activates its work after ingestion of food or a hot drink. That&#8217;s why even a small cup of coffee can make you want to have a bowel movement.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Interestingly, drinking <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/en\/product-category\/coffee\/\">coffee<\/a> on an empty stomach often enhances the effect. When the stomach is empty, the body reacts faster to stimulation, and nerve signals are more actively transmitted to the intestines. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/pexels-duncanoluwaseun-189472-750.jpg_11zon-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/pexels-duncanoluwaseun-189472-750.jpg_11zon-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/pexels-duncanoluwaseun-189472-750.jpg_11zon-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/pexels-duncanoluwaseun-189472-750.jpg_11zon-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/pexels-duncanoluwaseun-189472-750.jpg_11zon-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/pexels-duncanoluwaseun-189472-750.jpg_11zon.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>Not only caffeine is responsible for the effect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Many people think that it&#8217;s all about caffeine. In fact, this reaction is also caused by other components of coffee drinks. For example, chlorogenic acid. This natural compound stimulates the production of gastric juice and affects intestinal motility.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Various oils and bioactive substances also affect digestion. That is why drinking even a decaf drink has a laxative effect. <\/p>\n\n<p>The temperature of the drink also plays an important role. Hot drinks irritate the stomach receptors more than cool drinks, so the body&#8217;s reaction can be more intense. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Diuretic effect of coffee and kidney function<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to its effect on the intestines, the cereal drink also has a diuretic effect. Caffeine stimulates the kidneys and accelerates urine production. For this reason, a person may use the restroom more often after drinking a cup of coffee.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Caffeine can increase the urge to urinate, so even a small amount of fluid sometimes makes you want to go to the bathroom faster.<\/p>\n\n<p>When consumed in moderation, the drink does not cause severe dehydration. However, excessive consumption can disrupt the body&#8217;s fluid balance, especially if a person does not drink enough water during the day. <\/p>\n\n<p>In those who drink coffee regularly, the body adapts to caffeine and over time, the diuretic effect becomes less pronounced.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Individual characteristics of the reaction to coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The gut microbiome is a collection of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines that affect digestion, immunity, and the body&#8217;s response to food and drink. This set is individual, as is the response to peristalsis and the rate of caffeine absorption. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to genetics, habits also have an impact. If a person drinks coffee infrequently, the stimulation of the intestines and bladder is usually felt more strongly. In addition, a morning cup often has a more intense effect than an afternoon cup, because the digestive system is more sensitive after waking up.  <\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"container\" data-elementor-id=\"51621\" class=\"elementor elementor-51621 elementor-51612\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9c23af e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f9c23af\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c2cb71 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5c2cb71\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d65280a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d65280a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86a1e5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"86a1e5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"293\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/banner_img.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-38001\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/banner_img.webp 293w, https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/banner_img-209x300.webp 209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2249fa e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e2249fa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd5e550 elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-field\" data-id=\"dd5e550\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-field.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-listing jet-listing-dynamic-field display-inline\"><div class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-field__inline-wrap\"><div class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-field__content\" >Favorite decaffeinated Arabica<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2a4e1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-field\" data-id=\"a2a4e1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jet-listing-dynamic-field.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-listing jet-listing-dynamic-field display-inline\"><div class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-field__inline-wrap\"><div class=\"jet-listing-dynamic-field__content\" >Now you can enjoy your usual decaffeinated Arabica.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-popup-target elementor-element elementor-element-3c46aa6 jedv-enabled--yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-jet-popup=\"{&quot;attached-popup&quot;:&quot;jet-popup-34434&quot;,&quot;trigger-type&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;trigger-custom-selector&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;loop-dynamic-popup&quot;:false}\" data-id=\"3c46aa6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/kyivcityroast.com.ua\/en\/?post_type=product&#038;p=35394\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Order<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n<p><strong>When to pay attention to symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>In most cases, this reaction is completely natural.
