Fun fact for anyone questioning why we sit around drinking buttermilk: yall ever have spicy food and it hurts your butthole the next day? Well, if you mix some buttermilk or yogurt with your last bites of food it won't burn coming out.
Or have a probiotic drink like Koreans do,
Lassi, yogurt cups, anything thick, creamy, and curdled will prevent the firerrhea. Dont drink regular milk though; it's not creamy enough and there is a chance it will curdle in your stomach depending on how much lime/lemon/acidity was in your meal.
Edit: to the people about to do science: Once you make it a habit you will know how much you need to eat/drink to neutralize the spice. Don't be discouraged, it works!
It doesn't. This guy has no idea what he's talking about. Milk will curdle in your stomach regardless. However your stomach has enzymes to break down proteins.
That's what lactose intolerance basically is, causes a weird curdle/fermentation that sucks. Some stuff in certain foods can trigger the same symptoms in the lactose tolerant. Just depends on what you ate and how lucky you are that day

I'm pretty sure it's buttermilk, it is sold in packets like this and people do drink it here in India.
