Re: Drinking warm water for constipation, general bowle movements??? caffeine will do that but I have read in an ostomy guide pamphlet about the bowel stimulation that a cup of warm water may have. Frankly a cup of tea is more appealing and is still warm water. I would warm up a glass of cold water and not drink the warm water supply in the house. The above poster is correct in that warm water contains more dissolved minerals than cold water including lead from the solder used to connect copper pipes.
There's no concern that water will dilute the digestive juices or interfere with digestion. In fact, drinking water during or after a meal actually aids digestion. Water and other liquids help break down food so that your body can absorb the nutrients. Water also softens stool, which helps prevent constipation.
