THE ANSWER

Why do spicy foods make me poop?

Hot spices like cayenne or chili peppers contain a powerful ingredient called capsaicin. When we eat capsaicin, it stimulates the vanilloid receptor 1, which tells our brains that we are burning from the inside.†

Our brains then try to understand what the heck is going on and will release endorphins to block the pain. If you’ve ever felt happy while eating spicy food, finding yourself reaching for more even when your mouth is in serious pain - that’s why.

The burning effect of capsaicin triggers the body to take action against what it interprets as potential harm. The result? You get diarrhea to flush the potential threat out as quickly as possible.†

All I can say is you better invest in a family pack of some high-quality toilet paper before you start taking this. Seriously, you are not ready for what is about to come out of you...
