So is coffee a diuretic or no?

So is coffee a diuretic? I have heard that recently the fda has reversed its classification from a diuretic to no longer being considered one. I have yet to find anything significantly confirming on either end at the FDA's website. So can you guys help me out, what is the official consideration?

A mild one. If you drink too much you're gonna get all fckn jittery. If ya ever wanna shit yourself, have 2 or 3 bananas and a couple of cups of coffee.

If you haven't had coffee for a few days or more it hits you kinda hard after drinking a few cups. Here's a good study on the subject. Never really had bananas with my coffee that I can remember - I'll have to try it some time.

No problem man, glad to see you think the study is as interesting as I do. I guess it surprised me a little the first time I saw it. Experienced coffee drinker, so I'm glad that I'm not forcing myself to pee with a couple cups a day.

Yeah I am a huge fan of coffee myself and was def glad to see the conclusion showing that its not dehydrating or effecting fluid levels too drastically

I have noticed a connection with drinking coffee after working out and cramping up, sometimes serious cramps. Side note is that I take creatine, but the cramping happens to me only after drinking coffee. These cramps always go away shortly after guzzling water. I have not had noticed any problems when I have coffee before working out.
