“…Brown et al have reported that caffeinated coffee stimulated a motor response of the distal colon in some people, and tea (caffeine content 1.5-3%) had a similar effect to coffee [ 26 ]. A study in Thailand showed that caffeine intake caused a decrease of rectal sensory threshold in the defecation desire, leading to an earlier desire to defecate [ 27 ]. Colonic microbiota disturbance was another possible reason for constipation [ 6 , 30 ].…”

Background Caffeine has been reported to increase gastrointestinal motility and change intestinal microbiota. Constipation may be caused by colonic motor dysfunction and colonic microbiomeis disturbances. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between caffeine intake and constipation. Methods This was a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Caffeine intake was assessed using 24-h dietary recall method, and constipation was defined based on stool consistency or stool frequency. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between caffeine intake and constipation, and results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Subgroup analysis was performed based on age. Results A total of 13,816 participants were finally included for analysis. After adjusting potential confounders, high intake of caffeine was found to be associated with the low odds of constipation (Q3: OR = 0.60, 95%CI: 0.49–0.74; Q4: OR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.59–0.99; Q5: OR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.56–0.92). The similar association was found in young people and middle-age people (P < 0.05). Conclusion High caffeine intake was associated with the low odds of constipation. Our finding indicated that individuals should develop consciousness and habit of consuming caffeinated foods and drinks to prevent and relief the constipation.

“…Caffeine is a ubiquitous fatigue countermeasure [ 77 ] and often used by shift workers to optimize off-duty alertness [ 78 , 79 ]. Caffeine may increase gastrointestinal motility [ 80 ] and stimulate a motor response of the distal colon in some people [ 81 ], as well as an earlier desire to defecate [ 82 ]. Caffeine consumption was also associated with increased odds for inflammatory bowel syndromes in a recent study [ 83 ].…”

Working outside of regular daytime hours is increasingly common in current societies and poses a substantial challenge to an individual’s biological rhythm. Disruptions of the gastrointestinal tract’s circadian rhythm and poor dietary choices subsequent to shiftwork may predispose the shift workforce to an increased risk of gastrointestinal disorders, including constipation, peptic ulcer disease, and erosive gastritis. We investigated bowel health in a US population of shift workers, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and compared bowel movement (BM) frequency and defecation patterns between 2007 day workers and 458 shift workers (representing 55,305,037 US workers). Using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression techniques, our results suggested no association between shiftwork status and BM frequency, bowel leakage of gas, and stool consistency. Constipation prevalence was high but comparable in both groups (6.90% vs. 7.09%). The low fiber intake observed in both groups (15.07 vs. 16.75 g/day) could play a potential role here. The two groups did not differ with regard to other nutrients that may influence BM frequency and stool consistency (e.g., carbohydrate or caffeine intake). Additional studies including food group analyses and fecal biomarkers are warranted for a better understanding of GI health in shift workers.

“…Parnasa et al reported that caffeine significantly reduced the time to the first postoperative bowel movement when other chemical components were excluded [ 23 ]. Several mechanisms have been proposed: caffeine promotes postoperative gastrointestinal recovery through vasodilation [ 26 , 27 ], improvement of POI by vagus nerve stimulation [ 28 , 29 ], promoting the release of gastrin, which may cause the need for defecation shortly after ingestion [ 30 ]. Researchers believe that this laxative effect is caused by not only caffeine.…”

Background. Postoperative ileus (POI) is an important complication after elective colorectal surgery, which prolongs hospital stay and increases hospital costs. Coffee has been reported to be beneficial for the recovery of gastrointestinal function. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of coffee consumption in the treatment of POI, following elective colorectal surgery. Methods. A comprehensive literature search for medical subject heading (MeSH) terms, including coffee, caffeine, colon, rectum, and colorectal surgery was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library until November 2021. A meta-analysis of postoperative outcomes was conducted to assess the effectiveness of coffee consumption on POI after colorectal surgery. Results. 726 articles were identified and six RCTs that captured 416 patients were included. The time to first defecation was reduced with postoperative coffee consumption compared to the control group ( mean difference = − 15.03 h; 95% confidence interval: -17.79, -12.26; P < 0.00001 ). There was no difference in time to first flatus, time to tolerance for solid food, length of hospital stay, use of laxatives, reinsertion of nasogastric tube, need for reoperation, postoperative complications, and anastomotic leak between the groups. Coffee did not have any adverse effects. Conclusion. The current literature revealed that postoperative coffee consumption shortened the time to first defecation following elective colorectal surgery. Large sample and tightly controlled multicenter randomized clinical trials are needed to offer a more accurate evaluation of the efficacy of coffee.
