Diarrhea refers to diarrhea. After eating spicy diarrhea, it may be caused by gastrointestinal irritation, food intolerance, intestinal neuroregulation disorders, etc.

What is diarrhea after eating spicy food

1. Gastrointestinal irritation

Capsaicin in chili peppers can stimulate the intestinal tract and gastric mucosa, causing gastrointestinal motility to accelerate, causing food to pass faster in the intestinal tract, thus causing diarrhea.

2. Food intolerance

If you are not tolerant to spicy food, you can increase the osmotic pressure in the intestinal tract, causing water to accumulate in the intestinal tract, resulting in loose stools and diarrhea.

3. Intestinal neuroregulation disorders

Capsaicin in chili peppers may interfere with intestinal neuroregulation, resulting in abnormal intestinal motility, enhancing intestinal transmission capacity, and may push unabsorbed chyme out of the body, resulting in diarrhea.
