Research Notes on IBS and Caffeine
IBS and caffeine are not a good combination. If you suffer from IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, limiting your amount of caffeine can help alleviate symptoms. Caffeine speeds up every system in the body, including the colon, and can result in diarrhea.1
Fast Facts:
- Besides caffeine, other foods which can cause diarrhea include alcohol, fatty foods, and gas-producing foods.2
- Some IBS symptoms include abdominal pain with gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea.3
- Fiber has been shown to help ease symptoms, including fiber supplements.4
