Does anyone know if eating spicy foods is ok with band? I add a lot of black and cayenne pepper to my foods and sometimes cook veggies with a green pepper in it. I also add a lot of garlic and Mrs. Dash. It doesn't have the same affect as ibuprofen, does it? Also of course with eating spicy foods, I do sweat a lot after eating but I heard this helps in speeding up your matabolism (Sp). Actually even if I don't add spices I sweat after eating. Does anyone else have that problem too?

I eat spicy foods all the time and it hasn't hurt me. I love hot stuff!

Good to know! I love super spicy food too!

Yep, spicy foods are incredible! Just made chili last night, with extra garlic, rotel, and chili seasoning.

Great!! Thanks for your responses. I couldn't imagine giving that up as I loved Spicy foods!!!

I use to be able to smother my foods with spicyness... now i can't have any spicy at all!

I love spicy food but am afraid to eat it. I'm afraid that I'll want to drink with it..

Has that been a problem with anyone?

I have really stuck to the rule to not eat and drink. After eating spicy foods, the only thing I do is sweat. After about 30 minutes, I'll then drink.

Only one word of caution and it comes from personal experience. If you do barf after eating spicy foods it burns at least triple coming up vs. when it was going down. So chew well and don't overeat! :Banane10:

One thing I've learned on this site is everyone's stomach is different. I LOVE hot wings but I am afraid of trying them. I have started out slowly reintroducing spicy to my diet and have had no problems. But, I am still afraid of eating spicy foods. Things like chili don't bother me, but I can't get over my fear enough to eat hot wings. I guess it is all for the best since hot wings are not that nutritious in the first place.

Just be careful of the skin on hot wings. chicken skin is evil.
