Why does the butthole sting when you poop after eating spicy food?
Why on earth would we need something in our rectum that can sort of taste used food in the master out pile??
Look, I’m not complaining that my rectum isn’t providing me with a full spectrum taste experience, quite the opposite.
I want NO chemo receptors in my rectum!
It’s because the rectum is lined with mucus membranes, which is necessary for the whole ‘sliding-out-of-poop’ thing, but also makes them more susceptible to chemical burns than ordinary skin.
I understand what you are saying, it’s just that my wife DOESN’T have the burning poo experience after spicy foods.
And we both poop normally (to my knowledge – I haven’t checker her stool (and no, I wont)).
Maybe she breaks down capsaicine better than I do?
I can come up with a couple ideas, but they’re just guesses. Maybe she just has a higher pain threshold than you do, so she doesn’t notice. Maybe her body reacts less to capsaicin than yours does, in general. Maybe, like you said, her body digests it.
Does she tend to have a higher spicy-food tolerance than you do? Some people simply experience the same level of Scoville units differently than others. And I’d assume that would be true on both input and output.
From a quick review of easy to access and read websites capsaicine is not digestible by mammals in general. It is an alkaloid and a very effective irritant. Someone might be working on a food supplement to aid digestion but there is nothing out there that I can find easily.
Does she eat other things with her spicy food that you do not? Getting plenty of fiber in your diet can help prevent flaming poop. Also avoiding fatty food around the same time.
Little known fact: the gastroenteric tract has more sensitive neurons than all the rest of the body together (the brain has none, if you’re wondering about it). Yes, the entire gut (not only the end point) has a very well developed sense of taste.
Everyone’s body is slightly different in a number of subtle ways. Some people’s bodies must just process capsaicin and its related chemicals better than others.
Shouldn’t that last panel be the Indian guy saying “Thank you, come again!”?
Or have I been watching the Simpsons for way too long and now think Apu is an accurate representation of people from India?
Oh, and to weigh in on the burning poo thing…”come on, ice cream!”
Never been to an Indian restaurant, but I did once eat two bites of curry chicken made by an Indian guy. That record for shortest time between eating and emergency bowel evacuation held for eleven years.
Went to an a faux Asian chain for lunch yesterday and was asked how hot I wanted my food. If it had been an authentic Chinese place, I would asked for medium with some apprehension, I hate being in pain because of what I’m eating. Still, I asked for maximum heat and it barely tickled my tongue.

/Somebody needs to do a study on this.

What a horrible thing to do with ice cream in a public setting, but then again no need to worry about lactose intolerance.
“Mr Simpson. I have told you many, many times – and I will tell you again. Please do not be eating the hot dogs that have fallen on the floor.”

So you go to restaurants knowing full well that the food will make you feel sick after all. Wow, you really are a doofus.
Whooooooosh?
It surprises me that all of your symptoms are upper body stuff, not stomach/bowel reactions. Or were you just trying to be nice?
Well, I’m talking about how I feel while eating it.
But it’s so damn good. I know that my tikka masala is going to keep me bedridden for the next 24 hours, but it’s worth it.

I enjoy food with a kick as much as the next guy, but if all you can taste is pain, it’s not food.
