can I ask

Do you know if coffee causes/is bad for constipation? I think I found that if I stop drinking much coffee my constipation gets a little less. I do drink diet Snapple (an iced tea) & sometimes decaffinated Pepsi.
Also, Snapple says "made with green & black tea" but on the ingredients area it says "our tea starts with the finest tea leaves & is made from: filtered water, citric acid, tea, natural flavors, aspertame, potassium citrate, malic acid" (I've read that an ingredients list writes the ingredients starting with what they have the most of. That means it mostly has filtered water & the least of malic acid). Tea isn't first so I wonder how much tea & caffeine it has.

Lor I have found that coffee keeps me regular so maybe if you are a regular drinker and cut back suddenly or quit you might have problems.

lor, tea also has tanic acid found naturally in tea. While I was pregnant and incredibly constipated my OB, told me to stay away from tea due to this. I don't know if this helps, but thought I would help.
