Coffee can cause diarrhea?

[uk23]

Had 4 (80mg caffeine content coffees yesterday) and 3 and half today, plus a can of pepsi - could that cause the diarrhea possibly?

Coffee is a powerful bowel stimulant!

Well, Mishel..

Coffee and other caffeinated beverages such as tea and some sodas, can cause diarrhea. The reason is that caffeine can lead to reductions in the large intestine. High consumption of caffeine a day can commonly cause this problem. According to Rice University, this problem is known to affect the athletes, but it can really affect anyone.
