Can you drink coffee?

Coffee consumption may be helpful for some people because caffeine in coffee stimulates bowel movements and thus facilitates bowel movements. However, this is not a universal recommendation for everyone, as everyone reacts differently to caffeine.

For some people, coffee may indeed provide temporary relief, but for others, especially those who are sensitive to caffeine, coffee may cause dehydration or gastrointestinal discomfort, exacerbating constipation problems. In addition, excessive coffee consumption may also lead to other health problems, such as sleep disorders, anxiety or palpitations.

If constipation persists, it is best to seek advice from your doctor to understand the causes of constipation and take targeted treatment measures. Improving your diet, increasing dietary fiber intake, maintaining adequate water intake, and moderate exercise are all effective ways to relieve constipation.
