I was wondering if there may be a connection about the effects of coffee and bacterial overgrowth.

My main issues are seeing undigested food, often fiber and fat in my bm after I have coffee. I often get gassy and bloated later in the day or overnight.

Could the forced gastric emptying from the coffee into the small intestine disturb the natural bacteria in my gut? I think that some partially undigested food may get in the area where my bacteria are. Then it could ferment and cause the excess gas/bloating I have.

Does that sound like it's possible? Has there been any research done regarding gastric emptying of coffee and bacteria in the gut?
