Hi guys, a bit of an embarrasing thing but I've wondered about this for a while. I've lived in Mexico for about 5 years and I eat spicy food regularly (I love the taste and can handle the spiciness when I eat it), however, when I've had chilli and go to the toilet for a no.2 it stings for about 15 minutes and I feel really uncomfortable, sweaty and I have goosebumps...I hate having this as I feel really uncomfortable being around people until the 15 minutes or so have finished. This is especially bad when I'm in public places as you can imagine. The other thing is that after I've gone the first time after about 5 minutes I need to go again for a smaller amount and this is strange as this never happens to me if I haven't had chilli. I've explained this to my Mexican friends and they say it never happens to them...is it genetics or are they just "used to it"? But I think surely I would be used to it by now, I have lived there for 5 years now (I'm a British born 26 year old by the way).
Anyway I was wondering does anyone else experience this? Do any of you know why it happens? And do you think there might be any way to prevent it? (aside from obvious "stop eating chilli")
Many thanks in advance.
