Could black coffee help you clean your digestive system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coffee like: allthings with caffeine is a diuretic, meaning you urinate out more than you put in and hence can lead to constipation, anal itching and hemorrhoidal flares. So in my opinion, coffee is not a good idea to clean out the digestive system
