Is that why the Starbucks bathroom line is always stupid long?
Coffee can do magical things like wake you up, keep you alert, and make you an overall friendlier person to be around.
Plus it tastes like happiness and success.

But you may have also noticed that coffee has a serious effect on your poop habits.
Like that you have to take a shit immediately after drinking it. Sometimes while you’re drinking it.
So what’s going on here? Why does your morning cup function like a ticking time bomb in your colon? BuzzFeed Health checked with gastroenterologist Dr. Robynne Chutkan, author of GutBliss, and colon health specialist Dr. Dmitri Alden, from Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, for more info. Apparently, experts aren’t entirely sure why coffee has this effect on some people, but there is some science behind the how.
It might be that coffee causes more movement in the colon in some people, but not others.
A small study in 1990 found that 29% of people reported that they poop after drinking coffee, and people who reported this also had increased movement in the distal colon (the last part of the colon) for at least 30 minutes after they drank coffee. So for some people, coffee makes things ~move along~ more quickly.
