Same. Unless there's another thing eaten with it causing intestinal distress (lactose intolerance or especially greasy food), I'm fine.
I have legitimately gassed out my parents house with airborn capsaicin making salsa (also, don't rinse out a cooking pot using steaming hot water, folks!) using some unusually potent habaneros and scorpion peppers. Great way to clear your sinuses, lingered for a couple days though
I couldn't say how common it is, but I'm a bit jealous. I love spicy food but I definitely suffer the consequences. Not usually in the feeling it on the way out but in the irregular movements department.
And it's not even about having something too spicy. Sometimes I eat something one day and I'm fine, but eat it a different day and and it wrecks me.
It's because you don't drink as much as other people. People who chug a ton of of water or whatever after they've eaten something spicy are giving themselves diarrhea.
Sauce: a Taiwanese lady.
Maybe you just have a healthy gut. It’ll get me usually but I’ve gotten in the habit of having some yogurt or kefir afterwards and that neutralizes things in my gut so it doesn’t burn on its way out
I felt the same until I had one of those challenge peanut things that add straight up capsaicin crystals. It made my tummy feel not so good when I had it on an empty stomach, but I never had the "spice burns twice" effect until I had malatang and I asked them to do a spice level above their written max level.
As others have said, it started around my mid thirty’s. That also happens to be when I started growing my own ghost peppers… hmm. There is a big difference between a few slugs of a hot sauce and something truly marinated in heat. I have had a few spicy chicken sandwiches that you have sign a waiver (marketing bs) that have had the effect, but were surprisingly not that bad going in. Anyway. Up your game if you can’t feel it yet. If your mouth can still feel anything, you’re not hot yet. You should reach beyond the sweat and start feeling a pleasant dizzy feeling and no feeling in your mouth anymore.
I was like you, until my mid-30s hit
Now buffalo wings will have me waking up at 3am with acid reflux even though I didn't even register spice while I was eating them 6 hours earlier
Yeah I love spicy food and my body handles it like any other.
I think its one of those things where we have some gigachad gene that allows us to enjoy it like milk/dairy.
Doesn't affect me either, idk
For me, some spices that involve oils or the seeds can give my gut a punch. For example, I like jalapeños for flavor, but too much and my gut doesn't like it. Hotter peppers use less of the pepper for spice, so they don't crank up the digestion. Some other spices don't have any effect whatsoever, like dried red pepper can make my mouth burn but never upset the stomach.
I think most of it is what your body is used to, as eating more hot stuff makes it a lot less likely for my stomach to revolt about the jalepenos. But if I take a month off I'm rolling the dice.
Same for me. As long as I don't eat it. If I eat it, then hoooo-boy!
I don't suffer the trots from spicy food. If I make a Thai Curry I will put 5 Thai chillies in it. Could just be what my body is used to, but could also be people who struggle might be combo of not used to spice in their system and not eating a lot of veg or iber then have an Indian lentil meal or something?
Spicy food never had an effect on my stomach until one day in my late 30's. Now there's a fuzzy threshold where I'm OK, but there's a limit. A whole serving of my favorite bulgogi is always too much.
Ill have issues with super super spicy peppers or hot sauce. But generally I have to actively seek out something that spicy. Just some ghost pepper hot sauce won't do much to my system even if its spicy going down. Carolina reapers will do it.
Growing my own scorpion peppers this year. Never had a truly fresh one before.
Doesn't bother me either. I honestly didn't know spicy food making people shit was a thing. I always thought it was shitty food that caused spicy diarrhea.
So like ... Can you keep eating even more spicy food until it does affect your suggestion and then let us know how spicy you had to go?
I've had ghost pepper curry and it still didn't affect my gut despite me being a teary red mess
Even tabasco turns my arse into a fire dragon after its done burning my mouth, so count your blessings!
I guess I'm a spice boss because I can eat whatever I want, with nothing but spicy-ass occasionally.
