Just wondering, not talking about super hot, but I do like hot sauces and spicy food.

I actually eat more hot sauce now then I did before surgery and have not had any problems with it at all.

Hi, I do fine with spicy foods. I live in Cajun country and I'm so glad. I use Cajun seasonings or hot sauce on most of my food instead of salt. I know some people have trouble with the hot stuff so I advise you to try a little bit and see how it goes. Then gradually increase the spice till you reach your desired level of heat or your tolerance. I was adding Tony Chachere's to my chicken broth when I was on Clear liquids. LOL, you will know soon enough if it will be okay with your new stomach!

No problems here with spicy food or hot sauce. My only issue is that my signal for being full is that my nose starts to run, and the same thing can happen if I use a lot of spice or hot sauce! So I have to pay very close attention to how full I am feeling, and eat only a small, pre-measured amount of very spicy food.

Unfortunately I am having issues with spicy food- I havent even dared to try hot sauce except as a minor ingredient. I wonder if it has anything to do with age though, seems some people have those issues more as they get older and I will be 55 in a week. It's very annoying and I usually just eat it anyway but my stomach does complain or I get bad heartburn. Not smart on my part I'm sure.

No problems for me. I live in New Mexico and we have green chile with everything, kind hard to avoid it. Everyone here is addicted to chile. Thank goodness Sleevette likes chile.
