Poop is undigested or partly digested food plus millions of (mostly dead) intestinal flora. Capsaicin is hard to digest so there’s still some left to poop out and hurt your anus.

Pee is stuff that your kidneys filter out of your bloodstream. With a very few exceptions like asparagus, food that you eat isn’t going to have recognizable representation in your urine, as what your intestines absorb into your blood is mostly tiny building blocks.
