8. Too Much Caffeine Can Upset Your Digestive System

Caffeine is a natural stimulant, which means it speeds things up inside your body — including your digestive tract. For people with diverticulosis, that extra stimulation can sometimes cause cramping, urgency, or loose stools. Coffee, tea, sodas, and energy drinks are the most common sources.

If you notice your symptoms flare after a few cups of coffee or a strong tea, it may help to cut back or switch to decaf options. Herbal teas without caffeine can be a gentler alternative that still satisfies the ritual of a warm drink.
