Does ingesting contact solution cause diarrhea?
It's pretty much a myth. Contact solutions have a surfactant, though, like a soap, that could cause diarrhea. It is unwise to ingest contact solutions.
Is it normal for coffee to cause diarrhea?
Have you considered that the creamer you use is the culprit? Is it only with liquid creamer, and not dry? Are you Lactose Intolerant? Does this occur with all flavors of coffee? Does this occur only in the A.M.? Does it occur when anything else is ingested or is coffee the only thing you take? Have you asked your Doctor if any medications you take are contributing to your problem? Are there other things you take that have the same effect? Try to narrow things down a bit for yourself. Good luck finding the problem and fixing it!
What can I do if coffee gives me diarrhea?
If coffee gives you diarrhea, the solution (in my mind) is rather simple. DON’T DRINK COFFEE!!! To me it is kind of a D’uh factor. If you adamantly believe you need the caffeine, drink tea, or as a last resort take caffeine tablets. Hint, you don’t NEED caffeine, but you might believe you do.If you insist that without the caffeine in coffee you can’t stay alert…. go for a walk or do some exercise…. get that blood pumping.
Why does coffee give me diarrhea?
Coffee has a stimulant effect on the muscles of the lower bowel to stimulate contraction (peristalsis) and many people have a trip t the bathroom after their morning coffee. This effect was found to occur in 29% of people in one study. It can be a welcome trigger for your bowel habit, but it wouldn’t normally cause diarrhoea on its own. You may have a sensitivity to coffee proteins, it may be worsening diarrhoea-predominant IBS, or it may be causing increased bile production through an effect on your liver; this, together with gallbladder contraction, may ‘dump’ a lot of bile into the gut and trigger loseness. If you have noticed a general change in bowel habit, do seek medical advice. You can read about the health benefits of coffee HERE if interested. Best wishes, Sarah B
Severe diarrhea after drinking iced coffee? remedies for soreness?
An iced coffee is a full dairy drink, and considering it has so much different fats within it, it is not often the best drink for sensetive stomaches. I know myself that milk in large amounts has always made me unwell, and for all you know you may be lactose intolerant. What you can do for now however is to continue drinking alot of water so you don't get dehydrated. When you have diarrhoea, your body looses alot of water, and its important that you keep yourself hydrated the whole time. You shouldn't have to go to work however if you are too sick, especially because dirrahoea can last up to 24 sometimes, and even longer. If you feel very empty-stomached, stay away from juices and high citrus/acidy foods and having some very dry toast.
Can stress/anxiety cause upset stomach and diarrhea ? Urgent?
Yes, I can tell you this from fact and personal experience. I personally started with PTSD, it then became severe stress and anxiety. Basically what happens is when you are stressed your stomach muscles have spasms which make food move faster through your digestive track which of course can lead to upset stomach. I have had severe diarrhea when it started but learned to make things easier on myself. You want to eliminate liquor, coffee, caffeine, any narcotics unless perscribed. You want to eat healthy natural foods and take out is just a trigger food when stressed and can make it worse. I eat things like rice, chicken, hot tea, greens, home cooked meats and water only because soda's are loaded with sugar which is horrible for a stomach. Also, I would recommend consulting a doctor as medication can greatly help you get back to a normal routine. last thing is support groups, I can not afford therapy so I use free online support groups. I listed one below they have a forum to get drug reviews and get opinions and answers from other people with same issues. I hope this helps feel better and sticking to a healthy diet will go a long way when coping.
How do you prevent diarrhea?
isn't pepso bismol for when you're getting the symptoms of diarrhea? i was wondering if there are more medicine like that. i wash my hands a lot and is very careful about eating clean food. but sometimes when you're eating at someone's house or at a restaurant, it's hard to tell if there might be bacteria or something in it.
