What is it about coffee that makes you "go" after you drink it?
I'm starting to think that if I gave up coffee, I would probably become blocked up..
Does coffee have the same effect on you?

Yes, it is true that coffee is both a stimulant and a diuretic, and aid in moving the bowels. It is said to be good for anyone with peristalsis, but not wise if you have irritable bowel syndrome. I wouldn't worry about becoming blocked up if you quit drinking coffee, as long as you increase the fiber in your diet you should be fine. I've heard prunes work wonders! LOL
