What do banisters do, when you eat something spicy for your meal, but you can't drink and your mouth is on fire? Do you just avoid spicy things so you don't want a drink?

Love spicy food! Absolutley my fav I either just tough it out or my next bite is somethin mild to soothe the heat

If you look over to the right of this page there's a magazine article that condones sipping liquids while you eat. I don't see any harm in a few sips. Gulps of milk work but that would only result in a "The king is alive" episode and no one wants that. I've been doing a little sipping and I find it's not affecting my satiety and in fact may aid it. You just have to experiment to see if it's right for you?

I love hot food too and I do sip.

I love spicy foods too. If I am going to have it...I make sure and have a slice of avocado or soft laughing cow cheese on my plate to nibble on between bites to cut the heat...

I physically can't drink till about an hour after eating or I vomit. But the fill was taken out of my band 2 weeks ago to fix a slip and I've been spoiled by drinking with my meals. I get filled again next week so that'll be out soon. I love Mexican food but also can't drink when I eat it. I'm really thirsty till I can drink again.
