The wife says in a year or two my stomach will be destroyed 😅
The one with the green lid is something my dad made with habaneros and scorpion peppers!

    A few ml of vomit on the end? Lol. What is that?

    During a physical, I showed the doc a story about hot pepper sauces and asked if they caused ulcers, like my family has been telling me. The doc said if you eat the pepper sauce with food, it’s ok.

  3. Peppers don’t actually harm the stomach. That myth stems from the fact that capsaicin causes a lot more pain if you get it in an open sore – like an ulcer. Ulcers usually are caused by bacterial infection, but if you eat spicy food with an ulcer, the capsaicin causes it to hurt a lot.

    Capsaicin is a weak base and your stomach acid easily destroys it if it has time to digest it. “Cap cramps”, pain some people get in their gut from eating too much spicy food, is in the intestines. If the stomach doesn’t fully digest the capsaicin, it can inflame the intestines and cause pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Again, not damage, just pain. That said…inflaming your intestines too often can cause them harm. If you’re getting “cap cramps” or diarrhea a lot, then your wife is close enough to correct.
