Constipation Home Remedy #7: Coffee
Some individuals find that caffeinated coffee can help increase the urge of having a bowel movement as it stimulates the muscles in the digestive tract. One study even found that it helps to stimulate the gut in the same way a meal does.
It is thought that the effect of caffeinated coffee is 23 percent stronger than decaffeinated coffee and 60 percent stronger than water. It may also have small amounts of soluble fibers that improve the balance of gut bacteria.
