Why is it that right after i eat, my face gets really hot and red?

Red face post eating: Common kitchen-based culprits for facial flushing after eating include spicy foods made with hot peppers, ginger, curry powder, and sometimes large quantities of garlic and onions. High calorie, high carb foods may also be to blame because they take a lot of energy to burn and spike blood sugar levels, resulting in dilated blood vessels and a red face. These foods include sugary treats, pasta etc.

Type of food: Facial flushing is often due to type of food eaten: flavored with msg; taking alcohol with meal or before; food allergy; hot/spicy foods. Following gastric surgery, eating foods high in sugar content may result in dumping syndrome with facial flushing. Monitoring type of foods eaten may help in identifying the source.
