    I think it’s more likely to accelerate digestion and it can give you the runs, not 100% sure on that explanation though

      Basically this. Increased gut motility from inflammation reduces the time spent extracting water from your stool, which is exactly counterproductive to the OP’s question.

        Wait, can chili do that? I don’t think I’ve experienced that even though my mouth has been on fire numerous times.

          Many things increase gut motility. Barbiturates are a famous example of the opposite effect.
