The Runs? or Laxative Peppers?

Today I munched on a Bhut Jolokia Whole, the results after 2 hours was me having to run to the thrown and blast it off, why is this, I noticed that when I eat my food and munch on over 3 Habaneros? Is this weird normal or Taboo.... lol I had to say taboo saw it on a the discovery channel, well back to the subject, my GF and one of my friends that had the Ghost pepper too said they had to rush and use the throne? Any ideas?
 
Yes, you have the tummy of a 7 year old girl.

Seriously though - hot peppers can absolutely cause the Hershey squirts.

Really any spicy food can do it - curry, chutneys, hot peppers - indigestion is more common than diahreah, but if I were a betting man I'd say it was the Bhuts that caused you to do the toilet disco.

Combos can hurt too - if it's in a dish with cheese or other digestive culprits it can compound the reaction. Likewise there may be foods you can combine with to minimize the impact (velocity?) - maybe a starch like rice could help to temper the reaction?

I'm not a digestive expert, but I've experienced habanero OD and the end result was uh, just that - an "end result".



I've read in more than a few places that hot peppers can hit ya in the pooper.

Good luck!
 
I haven’t experienced it personally, but if it’s a common phenomenal I’m sure it has been studied in more detail.
 
Thats a common phenomenon and all too well documented.
