Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Coffee is a diuretic so yeah if you over imbibe youre going to poop even if it's the purest black.
That isn't to discount your point that the stress lactose puts on guts isn't helping.
That's not quite what a diuretic is. Diuretic makes you pee not poop. It's also the case that people develop a tolerance to this effect. Caffeine does have an effect on your bowels as well, but that's a separate issue to it being a diuretic. For example alcohol is a diuretic, but doesn't make you poop more. MDMA is an anti diuretic that sometimes makes people need to poop.
