    I’m generally very uncomfortable around bathroom humor/topics, but i gotta know. Are people really suffering down there from spicy foods? I love spicy food. Like, it took many, many visits before i convinced the indian restaurant near us to give me genuinely spicy food. Now they make it like they make it for themselves.

    And don’t get me wrong, I’ve had the burning booty of death before, but the two things aren’t really linked. Like, spiciness has no impact on my bathrooming. I only ever get the burn down there if I’m sick. Is this seriously a problem people have when they so much as smell a bell pepper, as the internet has led me to believe?

      As someone who thinks the “Last Dab” sauces from Hot Ones aren’t spicy enough, no. Your body adapts. I only burn my hole if I eat something that’s too salty now.

        Because it’s so hard to believe that some people’s digestive systems work differently. Gut microflora is notoriously undiverse in humans. Surely the more likely explanation is that the person you’re responding to managed to go their whole life without ever eating spicy food despite actively seeking it out. /s

        Maybe there’s a spice level at which I’d get bad shits, but I haven’t gotten so much as a tingle yet and I already have the highest tolerance than any white guy I know. You can be a spice snob and say “you haven’t met my guy Rajesh yet”, but almost no-one saying “spice gives me bad shits” has met Rajesh either so I don’t see the point.

          As I replied in another comment, do an “hot ones” evening going all the way up to 1m SHU and tell me your ass came out ok.

        Just made salsa last night.

        4 tomato 1 onion 1 bunch of cilantro 1 lime 6 Serrano 6 jalapeño 6 habanero Salt

        That’s about 1 habanero per small bowl. Most people wouldn’t eat a full habanero, or even taste that salsa.

        Never had an issue internally with spicy food.
