Spices – Flavorful or Harmful?

Spices like chili and pepper boost flavor, but when consumed in excess, they can upset your stomach. Find out how your digestive system reacts to spicy overload.

Acidity & Heartburn

Excessive spice increases stomach acid, causing heartburn and acid reflux. If you feel a burning chest sensation after eating, spice may be the culprit.

Risk of Stomach Ulcers

Too many spicy meals can irritate your stomach lining and lead to ulcers—painful sores that need medical care.

Bloating, Gas & Loose Motions

Spices can disturb your digestion, causing bloating, gas, or diarrhea. If you feel uneasy after spicy food, your gut might be reacting.

Tips to Enjoy Spices Safely

Balance spicy dishes with curd or ghee, stay hydrated, and avoid lying down after eating. Know your spice tolerance to keep your stomach happy!
