Even if you eat like a spicy soup?

Not sure the exact biochemistry behind it but if you eat a pound of spicy pepperoni sticks and drink 2L of pineapple juice at the same time I assure you that it will burn when you pee

A bidet is the answer to a burning ahole. Like a fire hose to put out the fire. Best 40 bucks I ever spent

Pee isn’t a direct waste product of your digestive system, it’s a product of your kidneys filtering out toxins and excess water.

Spicy poops happen because of undigested capsaicin in the food you eat.

It burns your butt? I’m brown, I think I’ve become immune to that sensation.

Your mouth is one end of your digestive tract. Your butt is the other. By default, stuff that goes in your mouth comes out your butt. Stuff that ends up in your urine is filtered out of your blood by your kidneys.

Poop is whats left of food after digestion, so any capsaisins lert might still burn.

Urine is water and waste what is filtered out of your blood, only things that linger on blood may passed that way, so aspargus gives a sulfuric smell to pee because its still in urine.

Also you need nerves to feel burn.

Try the One Chip Challenge. Everything will be burning for hours. My tears burned my face. My piss burned my urethra. It was almost like a Salvia high beyond the sheer pain.

Capsaicin is not very water soluble so doesn’t pass into urine easily. It is however alcohol soluble, so drink enough and you’ll feel more of a burn

Capsaicin is oil soluble, not water. So it gets processed with the rest of fat, and since we don’t really have a use for it, excreted the same way it came in.

Most irritants that are safe to eat aren’t water soluble. Even the few that fall into that exception get further neutered by the processes in your digestive system, from saliva to acid to enzymes. Your body carries chemicals around on your water based blood, so if a chemical survived all that and then got into the bloodstream, you’d have an unpleasant time right away.
