Spicy Food?

Can anybody here handle eating spicy food? I'm talking about once it gets past your mouth. For me, even mild salsa/sauce burns on the way out (I'm still moderately flaring in my lower colon). I recently accidentally ate some jalapenos in a sandwich and they were incredibly painful hours later! Back during my first really bad flare, I could feel spicy food making its way through my large intestine (and I quickly stopped eating such food!).

It really depends on the day for me, usually I don't have problems but sometimes I think it increases my inflammation when I'm already not feeling too great, and makes me feel a lot worse though. I love spicy food though, so I'm glad that I can still tolerate it in general.

Sometimes I can eat spicy, sometimes not, just like sometimes I can eat heavy foods, like a creamy sauce and sometimes not. It really depends on the day, and unfortunately I never know until its too late if you know what I mean!

No deal on the spicy food for me either. It's just not worth it!

Ouch, the thought alone makes me curl up in pain! he he. Congrats to those who can, I hear cayenne pepper has a great deal of health benefits.
