Ever had something so spicy you can feel it snaking it's way through your guts?

As a frequent spicy eater with IBS, yes. I’ve had:

Spicy guts
Ears ringing
Fire pee

In addition to the usual sweats, hiccups, and fire poops.

Haven't dealt with hot piss before but I've had ear ringing haha. Idk what I'd do if the capsaicin made it to my bladder. That sounds awful

It’s more weird than awful. It’s not nearly as hot as the lava poops but you can definitely feel it.

As a frequent eater of really spicy food, nope, I'm usually just fine. Eat more fiber y'all!.

I get at least 40 grams in a day, that doesn't do shit for spicy intestines

I had this only once and it was so bad. I thought it would only hurt going in and coming out, as per ush.

Am I the only person who doesn't have this issue with eating spicy food?

It reminds me of the "hurr durr Taco Bell gives you diarrhea" memes. Like really? Maybe you need to see a doctor?

I personally don't see any connection between spiciness and stomach/bowel issues.

I think it's just like the "obvious" answer ("food was spicy, now my tummy hurts, therefore spiciness makes my tummy hurt"), when in reality, at most people are just experiencing a correlation.

Capsaicin can irritate intestines just like it irritates every other mucus membrane. When that happens, they will often decide to speed up the substances trip, which leaves less time for water to be extracted. Other food will get dragged along with the expedited.

So you are left with a spicy, liquidy, morass of poor choices that burns the starfish as its last 'fuck you' on the way out.

Doesn't happen to everyone, but it does happen.
