Coffee, believe it or not, even without adding fiber to it, actually contains some dietary fiber. And so this is soluble fiber. The soluble fiber is not grit. You would never know that it's there, but it is fiber and it is feeding your gut microbiome. And so that's one of the other things that potentially helps. Now, I will say there are some people that coffee just is not a great fit.

And so there's about 10% of the population that will drink a cup of coffee and it will actually trigger urgent bowel movements. With those people, I would consider adding a fiber supplement to your daily coffee, which by the way, I kind of recommend this for everyone. I do this myself. I did it this morning.

Adding a soluble fiber supplement to your coffee on a daily basis is a great way to amp up the microbiome support. So examples of fiber, acacia powder, partially hydrolyzed guar gum, wheat dextrin. These are examples of ones that will dissolve. You won't even know that they're in there. And I would try that if you're having some urgency after you drink a cup of coffee.

Some people it will trigger anxiety. Coffee may not be a good choice for them. It's, I think, the caffeine in that particular setting. And then you have to be careful about this causing insomnia. So for some people, they're very caffeine sensitive. So you want to be careful about coffee in the afternoon.

For me, I could drink it at nine o'clock at night and go to bed at 10 o'clock and I'll be perfectly fine. That's just the way it is for me, but for others, it will be potentially different. So I think from my perspective, coffee is good for the microbiome. We actually have research that indicates that there are specific microbes that thrive when we regularly consume coffee.

And it's a rich source of prebiotics, both polyphenols and fiber. And I think it's a good part of the morning.

No, I don't think so. I don't really have concerns if you feel that you're having better bowel movements because you drink a cup of coffee. I actually experienced that myself. So from my perspective, I don't see that as a red flag.
