What Causes Diarrhea After Drinking Vanilla Flavored Coffee?
Question: I've been drinking a large vanilla iced coffee every day for a long time with a total of 15 shots of vanilla. I've been having diahreah every morning. Could this be associated to the amount of vanilla?
Brief Answer:
Vanilla not the culprit for diarrhea
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your medical concerns
You are concerned about having diarrhea after drinking coffee with additional vanilla. It would not be the vanilla that is causing the diarrhea but the creamer o milk used for the creamer. If you use just the vanilla syrup you should have less problem with diarrhea. Many people are lactose intolerant and with your using so much creamer you could also be lactose intolerant and that is causing your diarrhea.
