Yes they do, but not because it is a diuretic. The mechanism that stimulates muscles in the colon is different from the mechanism that pulls water and salt into the kidneys. The way diuretics impact bowel function is actually by taking water from the digestive tract, which does not cause people to need to poop. The muscle stimulation does that.
Diuretics make people release fluids. That mostly comes as peeing but can also impact bowel function.
It’s very common for people to need to poop shortly after drinking coffee.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Yea. Coffee is hydrating, just a tiny bit less so (i.e. negligibly) than water.
