Does too much caffeine constipate you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caffeine?: Caffeine is a diuretic and high doses can lead to dehydration. However, avoiding constipation should be thought of as a balance of hydration, fiber in the diet, exercise, stress reduction, proper diet, and dietary adjustments when medicines that cause constipation are taken. Thyroid problems and IBS can contribute to constipation. See this link please: http://tinyurl.com/zhnjkjp
