Why Coffee Makes You Poop

You heard it right: Coffee can make you poop

Every mum does this ‘familiar routine’ after snoozing a few times to get out of bed. Life gets�better with a cup of coffee. It perks your brain and keeps you alert before you launch onto the daily grinds of motherhood. There’s more to this: it also fires up a serious�bomb ticking effect on your bottom.

I’m not just making excuses for my caffeine addiction but researchers found that coffee triggers�the lining of the stomach and intestines which enables you to do the morning dump.

Coffee and Poop are Best Friends!
