That's cold, LOL!
jalapenos and habeneros.
end of problem.
REALLY.
Generic and brand names: ergotamine, belladonna alkaloids, and phenobarbital, oral; ergotamine, caffeine, belladonna alkaloids, and pentobarbital, oral; Bellergal-S; Cafatine PB
Although Belladonna is used in conjunction with opium, (i.e., Belladonna-opium) belladonna on it's own is not an opiate..
One of the side effects of belladonna is.. diarhhea...
This may be why it is mixed with opium.. one cancels out the other..

Chili powder with some lime works for me (but I am not a medical expert...just my own experience).
Try Chili Oil, which can be found at just about every Chinese restaurant or foodstore. I use it with potstickers, and have mixed it in with other foods that I want to get a "kick" out of. Works everytime to keep those bowels movin, movin.
Come to think of it, potstickers usually give me gas so it's close.
Thank you for the correction. I vaguely remember old labels when local pharmacists compounded prescriptions with tinctures. I forgot belladonna was the name of a plant which happens to be loaded with atropine.

If it's a paradoxical reaction in some folks, OK, I'll buy it. In most folks, it will make them constipated.
Treatment
Diarrhea is a symptom; when possible, the underlying disorder should be specifically treated, but more often symptomatic treatment will also be necessary. Intestinal transit time may be increased by diphenoxylate 2.5 to 5 mg (tablets or liquid) tid or qid, codeine phosphate 15 to 30 mg bid or tid, paregoric (camphorated opium tincture) 15 mL q 4 h, or loperamide hydrochloride 2 to 4 mg tid or qid. Anticholinergics (eg, belladonna tincture, atropine, propantheline) can (probably will) decrease peristalsis.
More intestinal transit time means less diarhhea. Here's some links:
Check out SLUD in the "What are the clinical effects of the nerve agents?" section here.
That's cruel. What did I do to offend you?
Exactly!
These éxperts'are idiots!
Belladona is nightshade. Don't know what else is in it, but it contains the toxin atropine, which is used to counteract nerve agents.
Iron definitely can cause constipation. Apple juice seems to counter it well, at least in babies.
ROTFL
What's wrong with a nice batch of jalapeno poppers? LOL

Cool! I didn't know they had added something to their product line!

Dr. Müller-Lissner says he believes that what constitutes a normal frequency of bowel movements is up to the patient. "The statistical range of normality is from three stools a day to three stools a week," he said. "But in clinical terms, this is irrelevant. If there is no organic disease underlying the constipation, a low stool frequency by itself does no harm. The only motivation for treatment is the patient's complaint."
I always thought that constipation had nothing to do with frequency, but the hardness (consistency) and difficulty of passing said stool.
Oh! And what's the frequency, Kenneth???
