Research shows that popular spicy foods using hot peppers contain a chemical compound called capsaicin. Capsaicin activates a pain receptor that sends a signal to the brain that we perceive as burning pain, causing a burning sensation in your mouth, skin, and eyes if you accidentally touch your eyes after cutting chili peppers.
These receptors also exist in the stomach and intestines. Therefore, food containing capsaicin causes some irritation to the digestive tract when it is digested.
