  I think it’s more likely to accelerate digestion and it can give you the runs, not 100% sure on that explanation though

    Basically this. Increased gut motility from inflammation reduces the time spent extracting water from your stool, which is exactly counterproductive to the OP’s question.

      Wait, can chili do that? I don’t think I’ve experienced that even though my mouth has been on fire numerous times.

        Many things increase gut motility. Barbiturates are a famous example of the opposite effect.

  It totally depends on the individual, but jalapeños give me diarrhea every time without fail. Spicy food causes general GI upset and inflammation.

    If jalapeños give you diarrhea you should try a habanero or a ghost pepper instead.

      It is kind of funny that jalapeños sometimes cause my stomach to get upset, but habaneros never do.

      So I just thought to duck duck ho and apparently pickled jalepenos are more likely to cause digestive issues and that matches up for me.

        So it clearly has nothing to do with the spiciness, and just with whatever your digestive system doesn’t like about jalapeños (or them being pickled). Why would you agree that spicy food is relevant here when it clearly isn’t?

    I eat peppers that would make a billy goat puke, no gut issues. It’s a matter of getting used to, i.e., burning out, the neurotransmitters that sense capsaicin.

    People tend to think hot peppers are rough on the guts, but consider, birds chow them with no issue. No nerves for capsaicin, no problem. See? No cat. No cradle.

      I love me a good Vonnegut reference

    You might just be allergic to jalapeños, my cousin.
