I have acid reflux. When I eat spicy food I get really bad heartburn.
Anyway should I enter that habanero pepper eating contest next week? The first to eat 55 peppers wins 500 dollars. Im not sure if I should or not.

Phoenix, come on girl! Is it really worth the pain you will have to go through and not be guaranteed, that you will be the one to eat the most peppers? You would be in a lot of pain for nothing, if by chance you didn't win!

On the surface, this seems like a bad idea. However, lets think about it for a second. You know what happens to you when you eat particularly spicy foods, and assuming you've had the problem for a while, have learned how to cope with and soothe your heartburn symptoms. The next contestant in the contest might not have the advantage that you have in knowing how your body reacts. If the pain is manageable, and you know you can cope with the burn, the $500 will buy a lot of pepcid.

I would strongly suggest you not even get close to that contest. Imagine the discomfort you get when you eat, let's say, spicy chilie. Now imagine that pain but 1000 times worse. Also, this could cause you serious health issues. The stomach acid may severly damage your stomach and esophagus. No health risk is worth $500.

Bad idea because if you have heartburn you might not do well. But if you eat 55 peppers you might have the worst heartburn of your life.

I found out Habaneros don't really cause heart burn as much as black pepper but do burn twice as much upon their leaving the body so go for it if you dare.

That is really not a good idea. If you want to be in the fettle position all night and day for the next month or so, then sure, why not.

Drink a bottle of Tabasco before the contest, then it'll all be fine. Don't forget to have a couple of Mexican chilli's before.
