Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

habituate your vanilloid (TRPV1) receptors in your gut (assuming you have them) and also habituate your gut microbiome
Do you normally eat enough fiber?
Probably not. Sometimes I eat whole grain noodles. I get maybe one serving of fruit and 1 of veg per day. I have some psyllium husk powder I can dissolve in liquid.
I cannot recommend getting enough fiber enough. Make sure you drink an adequate amount of water if you do increase your fiber intake. If you don't, the extra fiber will pull water out of your blood. Having enough fiber in your intestines when you eat capsaicin heavy food will give those capsaicin molecules somewhere else to be that isn't your gut trpv1 receptors and maybe help quell some of your discomfort!
