Re: OK Here's the deal...       01/29/06 07:18 PM Edit Reply Quote Yoda (formerly Hans) Reged: 01/22/03 Posts: 3682 Loc: Canada I have read this situation many times over by lots of different people. Here's the deal. Caffeine is a BRUTAL trigger. It can stimulate the colon into spasms VERY quickly causing the terrible D. Mucous in your stools is TOTALLY common with IBS. I have this ALL the time. Then, after your colon has been OVER stimulated into going into terrible spasms, you have D. THEN..... DRUM ROLL PLEASE..... Your colon shuts down. Result: CONSTIPATION. It is a VICIOUS CYCLE. You may have emptied out your system, but you then forced yourself right back into being constipated. Even though you might feel some relief. In the short run - yeah, coffee makes you go. Long run - BAD BAD BAD for IBS. -------------------- Formerly HanSolo. IBS, OCD, Bipolar, PTSD times 3. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
