Is coffee a colonic stimulant?Quote:
Caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee and meal induced more activity in the colon with a greater area under the curve of pressure waves (P < 0.01) and a greater number of propagated contractions (P < 0.05) when compared with water. Caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee and meal induced greater (P < 0.05) motor activity in the transverse/descending colon when compared with the rectosigmoid colon.
