Oh god so much this. I have had acid reflux since childhood and the doctors keep telling me to stop eating spicy food because it’s destroying my insides
i never leave the house without my Gelusil antacid anti-gas. i’ll have two after any greasy/spicy meal. it helps a lot with heartburn and acid reflux. and an omeprazole cycle every once or twice a year.
I tried some of those things as a kid and they always made it worse. Maybe I should try them again as an adult and see how it goes. Mostly if I’m having heartburn I just pop some Gaviscon and that helps. I DO try to minimize my spice intake most of the time but sometimes I deserve little a spice as a treat and then I go all out. I can survive heartburn once a week or so probably.
One of the worst parts of getting older is that my mouth’s spice tolerance keeps going up, but my stomach’s spice tolerance keeps going down.
