Quite the contrary, research has found that those who consume a spicy diet rich in hot peppers develop fewer stomach problems. Here is a paragraph from a recent article.
But that's not all! Uncooked, powdered cayenne has also been used effectively in combating such diverse problems as constipation and laryngitis! Because it is an astringent, which constricts bodily secretions, it can be used as a styptic to stop wounds from bleeding. It has even been used successfully in treating bleeding ulcers! Remember that we're talking only about uncooked cayenne. When used in cooked recipes, cayenne often does just the opposite and acts as an irritant to the digestive system. Therefore, to add cayenne's spicy heat to your food and gain its medicinal advantages at the same time, add it raw, after the dish has been prepared.

All spicy food stimulates the production of saliva and gastric juices. This can aggrivate ulcers. But the volume you would need to comsume to actually cause the ulcers is too high to be a likely cause.

THIS IS NO JOKE!
Ilove cooking Indian food BUT I have just come out of Hospital after 10 days of receiving blood transfusions having had 2 burst ulcers as well as a burst duodenal ulcer. I am instructed to cut down on my use of chillies ...........................This was a warning to me and I have to abide by it ..............or I may not be so lucky next time.
I have had to give up the Lager as well but that's another story?

No, not at all. But dear excess of everything is bad. So always take in little quantity.
