If you are like most people, you probably enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning to start your day. While that may work for most people, people who suffer with gut issues may not have the best outcomes when it comes to caffeine. Typically caffeine will stimulate our body which includes our gut and intestines. This will usually lead to urgency to use the bathroom and possibly diarrhea. These issues are already a problem for people with IBD. So it is usually wise to avoid this as much as possible if you can.
