This is a phenomenon that you may have already noticed. After a coffee or a cigarette, you have a mad desire to go to the WC. It’s strange, and yet, there is an explanation…
A drink that does not lose popularity
Tight, long, with or without sugar… Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. The French are for their part heavy consumers of this beverage.
They are indeed nearly 7 out of 10 French people, to drink it regularly. While many of them like to drink it at home in their prettiest mugs, some continue to be loyal to coffee taken on the terrace.
For several years, it is the coffee in pods that has the wind in its sailse. This is increasingly appreciated by consumers. Practical, it allows you to quickly make a small espresso at home using a dedicated machine.
Generally, coffee is consumed mainly for taste. But also to give yourself a little boost when necessary, thanks to the caffeine it contains.
“I drink a liter a day”confided in 2021 a coffee lover in a TF1 report, “I drink seven to eight coffees a day, easy”assured another.
But while coffee has its benefits – like keeping us awake more easily – it also has other downsides. Indeed, once more because of the caffeine it contains, this natural stimulant may not be suitable for stressed people. Or those with heart problems.
In this case, it is better prefer decaffeinated coffee. Or tea, which also contains caffeine, but in lesser quantities.
But it’s not just that ! Because drinking coffee also has another effect… It makes you want to go to the toilet more often…
Does coffee have an effect on digestion?

As our colleagues from Oh My Mag report, according to a study, 29% of coffee drinkers admit to having a strong urge to go to the bathroom following drinking.
But then, what causes this bizarre phenomenon? In fact, your favorite drink contains an active substance which is chlorogenic acid.
The latter has the effect of stimulate the secretion of gastrins in the stomach. This leads to the overproduction of gastric juices.
Result: the transit is very stimulated and waste much faster eliminated. And it can sometimes only take a few minutes! In fact, it is often necessary less than 5 minutes to want to go to the little corner following having a coffee.
Smoking also promotes transit
So if you are experiencing transit problems, the solution is found! And the cigarette in all this? Well, it also causes the same effects on transit as coffee.
This time, it is the nicotine that comes into play in the digestion process. Because it acts directly on peristalsis. It is the contraction of muscle tissue that helps move and break down food.
that’s why the duo coffee + cigarette to go to the toilet is far from being a legend. On the other hand, those who stop one or the other, or even both, often experience episodes of constipation. This explains that !
