I absolutely love spicy food, and it's never affected my gut. I was actually confused when I read about people getting the shits after a curry and wondered if it was a joke. I've had curries so hot it caused people to recoil into a coughing and sweating fit after they dipped their finger in and had a taste and I have one every other day. I feel the burning in my mouth, my face turns red, my forehead sweats, my esophagus feels weird, but (tmi I know lol) when I go to the toilet I'm completely fine. no gut pains either.

You’ve got a limited amount of years before it changes. It might not be dramatic, but you’ll reach a point where things start catching up with you.

My man! Im 32 as well and have been feeling a bit worse for wear, it couldnt be all the alcohol right?, and some nice spicy curry sounds delicious for tonight.

You know what? I forgot to account for the alcohol. You'll probably be fine for a lot of years. I'm not the average person when it comes to that and I definitely noticed a lot of other changes to my health when I sobered up for a month last year. Having a convo with a friend about how we don't heal as quickly as we did in our twenties probably distorted my thinking a bit.

idk i'm pushing 5 decades and i ferment my own habanero hot sauce cuz i can't buy anything hotter. I eat gochujang with pretty much everything. The only time i have ever suffered from hot things is when i ate one of those One Chip Challenges. I usually stay away from capsaicin extracts/concentrations but my kid wanted to do it. My stomach hurt for about 30 minutes then stopped, that was the extent of it!

Rules (interactive)

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
