I am still on clear liquid phase, but wanted to know if spicy food is a problem with the band? I love hot sauce!!

I have chilli flakes as a substitute for salt on some things like my chicken, never had a problem at all.. helps the metabolism is one claim, ive done well on it .. If u suffer from any form of heartburn, reflux etc, i dont think u meant to be eating spicy food tho so just be careful

Thank you..i never get heartburn from spicy but usually just from acidic foods..i guess i will give it a try

i do well with spicy good too. im bad i sometime eat hot sauce and hot salsa with chips and my food. and i do well.. But i never eat hot sauce late after 6pm cause then i do notice the heartburn and at night when you sleep it can cuome up>>>>> that hurts and burns...

if you do eat hot spicy food with hot sauce do it early at 2pm..

at 6cc in 14cc band..

Awesome...i really miss Frank's red hot hehe

I was worried about spicy food because I read a few places that it might irritate the stomach lining, but I've been doing fine with my normal drenching of everything in hot sauce. I took it slowly and eased myself back in to it just in case, but I've had no problems so far.

Ohh now im dreaming of Buffalo chicken dip..hehe...i think im going to make a healthy version and puree for a mushie food..do you think that's ok?

I had no problem with hot spicy food untill my last fill. The food sits in your pouch much longer, and can get very irritating causing heart burn. like I said, up untill that last fill I was fine. Now I have to be more carefull

I think it may be irritating the band also as it passes thru very slowly.

My food has to be spicy.... the hotter the better. I haven't had any issues since being banded. I'm a little more cautious around my fills, but generally every meal of mine is a little zippy.

I tried franks red hot the other day with no problem...yayyyy

I swear I could drink Frank's hot sauce, yum. I actually put a dash in some cream of chicken soup today!!

Yum!!! I love anything Buffalo style
