A member asked:
I've always ate spicy food without problem. recently began getting low stomach pains after eating spicy food. is it something serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be: Many minor stomach pain issues after eating certain kinds of foods can be explained away by common indigestion. The chemicals in spicy food irritate the sensitive ulcer, which may respond by becoming inflamed or even by bleeding. Depending on the ingredients used to make the spicy food you've eaten, the chemical capsaicin may be the culprit. Found naturally in chilies.
