For those with food intolerances and allergies, it can indeed act as a laxative. It is referred to as a 'food reactor' and in some, will actually cause cramps and diarrhea.

when i was in my 20s, a patient's wife in the nursing home told me that as soon as her husband has his   coffee, zoom ! - - --he had a good bowel movement. 

 Never having had much coffee, i cannot speak to this, except once when I was with the guy I later married, I drank some coffee in the morning and then had a large, good B M . ( Not that anybody cares, but for the purpose of discussion ) 

addendum:  it doesn't have to be black coffee to get it  going. It can be white with sugar or whatever.
