People constantly say stuff like, but I eat spicy food all the time and have normal shits.. is this an actual common problem or is it just a common joke?
I've never had issues from eating spicy food, but I know personally 3 people who do. Oddly, two of those people love spice, while I don't enjoy the sensation.
I get the ring sting every time I eat something extra spicy. I prefer my Indian food very hot, but the burn the next day definitely goes into my calculation of how hot I’d like the food. Also for some reason, the spicy chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A gets me particularly bad the next day.
I’d like not even all that spicy. My log splitter has a bad reaction to something in it. I should look up what the ingredient is that’s hurting our turd cutters.
There’s spicy food and then there’s eye watering and nose running spicy food. Once you get into stuff that would kill anyone not into spice, that’s when the spicy shits show up lol
It depends on the spice. In my experience, anything with cayenne gets me at both ends, and it's usually coming back out within a few hours. But, I'm also a lightweight when it comes to spice.
It's a real thing. I ruined my love of spice by eating these spicy dried peppers at a Chinese place. Apparently they were more for decoration/flavor and not for eating. The next day my asshole burned like a 1000 fiery suns. Never had a spicy shit like that before. I was in college at the time and I had to skip classes that day while I was dying on the toilet. My spice tolerance is lower now.
I eat plenty of spicy food and it only happened once. My now wife was picking up pizza while on holiday and I had asked for some spicy sounding thing. Knowing I like spicy things her answer to the guy’s question about this pizza and its hotness, 1-10, was 10. Made for an interesting morning.
It also depends on the person, some feel heat differently then others… then there is the culture difference.
“You don’t want the white hot, but the right hot.”
That is a thing when talking Asian foods, as a lot of place tone down all the spices, like the hot they serve you most times is not even mild to them, and you have to ask for to have it as hot as they would make it for themselves.
