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.
32 and I’ve been into spicy food since I was like 20 lol
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.
ok now I’m definitely treating myself to a curry tonight lol, I’m gonna milk this blessing for all it’s worth 😂
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!
