Coffee could help with constipation / bowel movements

"It’s not clear why coffee can stimulate a bowel movement, but the speed of this effect suggests it’s mediated by the brain...Some studies on the topic — which tend to be small, old and limited — have suggested that it’s probably not the caffeine that triggers the urge to go. One paper published in 1998, for instance, found that decaffeinated coffee had a similar stimulatory effect on the colon as caffeinated coffee, whereas a cup of hot water did not."
