My tolerance level has been building this past year as I’ve tried more hot sauces. Shout out to my new favorite one I found just last week – Melinda’s ghost pepper wing sauce, absolutely fire and recommend it to everyone.
But I’ve got an issue. I’ve obviously developed a tolerance to heat on the front end of spicy, but not on the back end…. Will that ever catch up, or do y’all just have daily fiery bowel cleanses?

Avoid wiping so damn hard… 🤣
Personally my arsehole is like that scene I. Game of thrones when Daenerys commands her dragon to breath fire …
“Dracarys”
Every single day. It’s amazing
Pepto

“It’s okay Melindaaaa”
this stuff mixed with frank’s red hot is the perfect wing sauce. change my mind.
Eh, it doesn’t lessen but you do get used to it.
It seems to fluctuate. Sometimes I don’t notice anything even after eating pure fire, sometimes considerably milder can make lava come out. But I argue that your bowels do get used to the hotter stuff eventually, just not as fast as your mouth.
What a crappy question. Balance it with the food you eat it with, avoid alcohol, more than anything keep well hydrated, at least two 8oz glasses of water to one bottle of sauce. Try more moderation, a bottle at a time is for pros, you gotta work up to it. Get your shit together.
Honestly, your system should process a lot of it during digestion. increase your fiber intake a lot and hydrate a lot more and see if it has an effect.
Sometimes you just have to pay the toll to drive on the road.
A sauce isn’t hot enough if it doesn’t give you the BGs!
I heat home grown hot peppers on the reg. Everything from Habaneros, Thais, Reapers, you name it. The burn goes away eventually. Come to think of it, I haven’t had the volcano shits in years. Just comes with tolerance.
For me my stomach did catch up but it took a long time. The only time I experience issues is if I’m pushing my limits. My stomach has always been pretty good though. 99% of the time any issues the next day are a mild annoyance at most. It’s different for everyone though. Your other habits also contribute.
I’ve always wondered how this works as I’ve never had issues with this ..at worst all I’ve gotten is a mild amount of tummy distress that was solved with a glass of milk ..and even that was only after eating fresh habaneros or something similar …how is the effect so different from person to person ?
Melinda doesn’t mess around
Apply a little Vaseline or Preparation H as needed.
Bidet, hydration, and metamucil.
Hey now.. it’s a privilege, you get to enjoy it for two days! yay etc.
Hilarious. I love this hot sauce. More than any other. The other day I left my bathroom and walked to the fridge and threw it out. I just couldn’t do it yo myself again and I knew I would.
I never had problems on the rear exit from hot sauce, think it matters a bit on your gut bacteria and digestion speed (did get fire pee after overdoing aka miso). If it is relevant, eating vegetarian and below average calories so I’m pretty efficient at processing food for energy I guess 🙂
Dunno why, but for me it tends to be fine unless I eat a lot of garlic with the spice. Somehow that combination becomes an issue.
Rough toilet paper can then make it even worse.
That one’s a bit intense, but I’m confident that someone with a decently high heat tolerance can take it.
If you’re at least at the level of tolerating hotter-than-average hot sauces this might be the next logical step.
I personally feel I have developed a tolerance 🤷♂️
I had the same issue. The tolerance came to my bowels, it just came about slowly. I suggest you just keep consistent spice levels flowing and your bowels will figure it out.
Bidets bro.
Also more fiber, yogurt, etc.
And this is the real stinger for hot heads like me – pace it. Like really pace it. Learn the balance between flavor and sitting on the damn pot too long.
It’s hot
OMG, I discovered this last week!! I LOVE IT!
People in other cultures have different gut biomes, localized to their environment and diet. Places like Thailand, chiles are a huge part of the culture; people begin eating chiles at young age and their bodies have adjusted.
I also think it’s down to individual differences in physiology, as I’m a white Californian and I rarely have ring of fire.
I’ve found that it gets a lot better if I eat slowly. Really enjoy the lingering burn in the mouth, and the enzymes in your saliva will neutralize more of the spiciness so there’s less burn later.
That’s weak sauce. Suitable for patients recovering from surgery.

My wing and beer buddy got me a cheap one as a gag gift. Well, I installed it and now hate vacationing because I don’t have it. It’s the best for a million reasons, but spicy food is a big one.
Buy a cheap one and never look back.
Toilet paper in the freezer. It works
Fiber supplements! Metamucil has solved this problem for me
You mostly develop a tolerance over a longer period and can work up to pretty insane level of heat. By mostly, I mean a tolerance with your mouth, stomach, and will no longer suffer from the “ring of fire.” What I never built up tolerance for is when somehow capsaicin comes out in urine. This only happens when I get drunk and make stupid decisions like making ghost chili poppers and eating a bunch of them, or eat a bunch stupid spicy “challenge” wings at bars/restaurants where you have to sign a waiver before eating. They ALWAYS make them with capsaicin extract based sauce if you have to sign a waiver in my experience, which has a chemical taste like I’d imagine battery acid to taste like, because they want almost everyone to fail. Idiots like me will eat the wings anyway but not without consequences.
Once you “break the seal” after too many drinks and super spicy food, the burn feels like torture, and frequently have to pause when urinating due to pain which is not fun at all. No, it’s not an STD, and I’m sure others who have consumed superhots/extract based sauces in quantity can testify to this. I’m sure it’s possible to build tolerance for this too, but I have zero desire to do so.
For me my stomach would get upset eating normal things and spicy stuff flushes me out. My butt has a higher tolerance than my mouth lol
Bidet is the answer. Though certain things are worse than others. I had a night this summer where I enjoyed some of the devil’s lettuce and then housed two servings of Buldak 2x spicy. Woke up at 3AM feeling like I had molten lead in my gut. I was sweating and shaking by the time I passed it all.
