I absolutely love spicy food, and it’s never affected my gut. I was actually confused when I read about people getting the shits after a curry and wondered if it was a joke. I’ve had curries so hot it caused people to recoil into a coughing and sweating fit after they dipped their finger in and had a taste and I have one every other day. I feel the burning in my mouth, my face turns red, my forehead sweats, my esophagus feels weird, but (tmi I know lol) when I go to the toilet I’m completely fine. no gut pains either.

    Maybe you just have a healthy gut. It’ll get me usually but I’ve gotten in the habit of having some yogurt or kefir afterwards and that neutralizes things in my gut so it doesn’t burn on its way out
