Rectal Burning
As the hot peppers progress through your digestive tract, they can continue to retain some of the burning ingredients that makes them hot in the first place. This can cause a painful, burning sensation in your rectum as you pass stools containing any type of hot pepper waste. Although this side effect does not classify as serious, it can cause discomfort for a few days. Once your body acclimates to the inclusion of red peppers in your diet, this side effect may cease or decrease.
As a corollary, one might assume that if one has hemorrhoids and one regularly ingests hot peppers that the analgesic effect will kick in and sooth the discomfort associated with said piles.
