Hello An_241667 and thanks for posting!

That's an interesting question about black pepper. I checked this slideshow on Common Digestive Myths , but I didn't notice anything specifically about pepper.

You may want to repost your question on the Food & Cooking community because they have a Health Expert there. Unfortunately, this community no longer has one.

Best wishes,

Byroney
