Food Therapy: High Amount Coffee and Coffee Caffeine May Have A negative Interaction with Antibiotics Used for Treatment of Diverticular Disease?

By Kyle J. Norton


Diverticulitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the small, bulging sacs or pouches of the inner lining of the intestine caused by small pieces of stool (feces) trapped in these pouches.

Coffee, second to tea consumption, is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Contrast to general believe, Coffee and caffeine intake do not have significant risk of diverticular disease, but a negative interaction to Antibiotics prescribed for treatment of disease, a renowned university study suggested.

According to a prospective cohort of 47,678 US men, 40 to 75 years old, during 4 years of follow-up (1988 to 1992), documented 382 newly diagnosed cases of symptomatic diverticular disease,  caffeine, specific caffeinated beverages, and decaffeinated coffeeand did not express any relative risk of symptomatic diverticular disease.

Even after taking account of all other factors into account, coffee and coffee caffeine intake may only have insignificant in increased risk of the disease in men.

Other, in the study of risk factors and pathogenesis of Diverticular Disease also indicated a similar result as coffee, and caffeine have not shown to be risk factors, regardless amounts of intake and even after considered aging factor.

In the article published on healthy women by By Nora Saul, MS, RD, LDN, CDE, coffee caffeine injection of high amounts of more than 600 milligrams of caffeine per day, found in three to seven cups of coffee. may interact with certain antibiotics used in treatment of Diverticular Disease

The author also said, "although you don't need to stop caffeine altogether while on a diet for diverticulitis, it's a good idea to avoid taking in too much while your bowel is healing".

In support to her statement, according to the study by Babcock University, "caffeine should not be combined with antibiotics as this could result in serious therapeutic failure and, possibly, drug toxicity in vivo"

Taking together, coffee and coffee caffeine intake do not have any substantial effect in increased risk of diverticular disease but in diverticular disease treatment patients, reduced intake of coffee may be recommended.
