What Drinks May Trigger Diarrhea?
When looking at your diet to identify trigger foods, remember to also note what you’re drinking. For example, coffee causes diarrhea in some cases. Take a look at the list below for drinks that can trigger or worsen diarrhea.
Sweetened drinks : Drinks with high concentrations of sugar (e.g. prune juice) and juices containing fructose may worsen diarrhea.
Diet drinks : Drinks and gums containing sweeteners such as sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol may worsen diarrhea.
Caffeine : The caffeine in coffee and tea — as well as many soft drinks — has been identified as a trigger for some people. If you enjoy a hot drink, consider opting for a decaffeinated option.
Alcohol : Your favorite alcoholic beverage might worsen your diarrhea. Establish which drinks disagree with you and prove problematic — and avoid them.
