    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.
