A member asked:

What makes my whole body ache after eating spicy food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Salt more likely: Than spices. It is likely the high amount of salt in the food and attendant water retention that may be causing the aches. You may try by preparing spicy food without the salt to check out this potential explanation. Keep in mind that commercial spice preparations may have added salt.
