IIRC, diuretics make people pee, not poop. Caffeine stimulates the colon which makes people need to poop, which is unrelated to it being a diuretic. Diuretics can cause constipation because they pull water from the digestive tract.
Yes they do, but not because it is a diuretic. The mechanism that stimulates muscles in the colon is different from the mechanism that pulls water and salt into the kidneys. The way diuretics impact bowel function is actually by taking water from the digestive tract, which does not cause people to need to poop. The muscle stimulation does that.
And also is a diuretic which causes people to need to poop. Not great for battle.
Similarly, cough syrup doesn’t actually fix anything. It just makes you cough a bit less while still being sick.

Diuretics make people release fluids. That mostly comes as peeing but can also impact bowel function.
It’s very common for people to need to poop shortly after drinking coffee.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Yea. Coffee is hydrating, just a tiny bit less so (i.e. negligibly) than water.
