<p>Try drinking a few cups of warm water along with the coffee. Putting a lot of liquids in your system can help increase the pressure to flush things out.</p>

<p>It's not clear which compound in coffee causes this reaction, but I have noticed a double espresso in the morning causes the expected reaction within half an hour.</p>

<li>Hi everyone, I have a hydrogen-sulfur type SIBO disease and If I
don't defecate everyday, the poop accumulates in the bowels and make
me pass gas (believe me it has really foul smell like rotten egg). I
everyday defecate through the laxative effects of the granular
coffee.</li>
<li>I put 3 teaspoon granular coffee, 3 cube sugar in every mug that I
drink, and I drink 3 mug of coffee in total. If I don't add sugar in
the coffee or I don't smoke cigaretts(it's too harmfull please don't
smoke) with coffee or the coffee is cold, then the laxative effect of
the coffee decrease too much(atleast for me).</li>
<li>And my main problem is that I drink that much coffee to defecate but
it takes 2 hours of mine. As an unemployed person, 2 hours is nothing
for me but because I'll be in working life soon and 2 hours'll have
a worth as gold for me.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> How can I decrease the time that I need for the coffee's laxative effect?</p>
<p><strong>What I tried for it:</strong> I drank hot water instead of coffee(I drank 6-7 mug of water for the same effect) but it took same amount time. I think to decrease the amount of water in the mug and increase the amount of coffee but I don't know if it works.</p>

This reminds me of a question I answered on a different SE site, in which the asker was *smoking a cigarette* to have the desired effect, and I recommended a cup of coffee as safer.  I can recommend going for a walk or similar moderate exercise to enhance your coffee's bowel stimulation.
