Is that actually something people experience? I eat very spicy meals regularly and never had that problem in my life. Not even in Thailand where my mouth very much disagreed with my decisions.

They are weak and their bloodlines will be forgotten.

My mouth can tolerate a lot of spice, my insides? Not so much

I’m just finding a lot of people have IBS because I never understood how Taco Bell fucks everyone’s stomach up and there’s me “you wanna go to Taco Bell?!” 😂

When I was younger it never happened. Now at age 31 a single hot sauce packet is enough to make sitting uncomfortable for a while after taking a dump.

I'm 41, so hopefully I dodged this development.

Absolutely. I enjoy spicy food but past a certain point it upsets my stomach and I'll have spicy shits.

You are luckier than you may ever know in that regard.. my dad and I love spicy stuff. Buffalo hot wings as often as we could afford growing up. As soon as we were done, straight to the closest store to get each of us a personal bottle of Pepto for the night, sometimes that didn’t quite cover it.. thanks to all that punishment I can handle most spicy things without an issue or Pepto assistance but boy was it a painful journey..

Seems like I'm lucky reading all those replies. I do get some heartburn from weird foods like oatmeal though but that's easier to not eat than my lovely spicy things.

You are quite lucky and I’m quite envious lol. I’m sure the envy will increase when I inevitably get stomach and gi tract issues later in life but honestly, worth it. Life would be much emptier without all the wonderful and delicious spicy foods the world has to offer

What's goes in hot comes out hot

Dude, I can't eat a goddamn jalapeno slice, I ate them from 20 years or so, then want to baseball game got some nachos w some on it. From that point in my life anytime I have them I feels like something is cutting my intestines, I can feel where it's at down there from the radiating pain. Been 20+ years still haven't learned my lesson though, Indian food is the devil at least thai people know how to remove the peppers when asked lol.

For me it's about 11 hours later. My body rushes it out so it doesn't have time form a solid and it burns just as bad coming out as it did going in, but no milk to wash it down.

u/Mikeymcmoose 8d ago

Yes, it burns on the way out like it goes in. Thais definitely are not immune to stomach problems, lol.

The uncooked flakes can be eaten without really registering the heat if they're just added at the end. I believe they may even skip proper digestion so the capsaicin doesn't really leave the flakes until it's too late to absorb it.

I've had deadly hot sauces, never really an issue despite it being so hot I had a spiritual awakening, but dry chili flakes have gotten me the next day for sure.

Same! I’ve never gotten a stomach ache from spice except with extract (which doesn’t really count imo)

u/CKRatKing 8d ago

They are talking about it burning on the way out.
