does having too many hot curries cause a stomach ulcer?

Question

somebody i work with said they do. and i have my indian takeaways very very hot. sometimes 2 a week. is it true guys?

Answer 1

I like my curries very hot also and I have never had problems with ulcers etc. I was brought up as a kid getting some of my parents curries then eventually getting a full one myself.

I reckon you will be fine. In addition to curries I make chili regular and put heaps of hot chili powder in it.

Some folk may have a weakness already there and curry may aggravate it. I think if you had a problem like that yourself you would know about before now.

Answer 2

I am a former chef and love all kinds of spicey foods, the hotter the better, I eat it 4 times a week and I am not of an ethnic origin that was raised on it (my family are all WASP'S, and not the bug). In fact the spice in food is good for your stomach and blood and digestive system, it aids in the foods breaking down and enzyme triggered by the capsasin, are beneficial, I have eaten food from around the world from the hottest curry known to man, "Phal" in the UK, to chili laced foods in Thailand and Singapore were I worked, not to forget my stint in Montego Bay Jamaica, and stops on my way back to the hotel and picking up something at one of the many Jerk Huts along the road back, they make the hot sauce there buy grinding scotch bonnet peppers, scalloins, garlic, salt and a bit of vinegar to slather on the jerk meat to eat either alone or in a sandwich. Like the one lady said it is the acids in the food that would affect someone with a stomach ulcer not the food, and it does not burn your stomach, some of the undigested seeds can cause some discomfort on exiting your body. I go through a bottle of Jamaican Hot sauce a week, I use it on everything but my cereal and in my coffee, last week I purchase to more fire breathing ingredients, a container of Thai Chili flakes (800,000 on Scoville Scale) and today in the mail, I recieved my Red Savina Habenero Hot Sauce (1,500,000 on the Scovillie Scale) both will knock for a loop if not prepared, I am now waiting for my Noko Jolokia pepper flakes (3,000,000 Scoville units).

Answer 3

Stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria but curries make them worse

Answer 4

Having awkward eating patterns (for example if you are on shift work and eating late at night, and eating early in the morning the next week) you are more prone to getting acid reflux or a stomach ulcer. Ulcers in the lining of the stomach are also brought on by stress.

Answer 5

I think you would have to eat hot chiles every single day to have this occur. I did Know someone from Mexico who this happened to. He used to eat 2 or 3 tablespoons of crushed red pepper on top of every meal and ended up getting an ulcer. 2 times a week doesn't sound so bad though.

Answer 7

I do not believe they actually cause the ulcer. That is more of a bacterial thing. Curries just irritate ulcers, as do a lot of spicy foods.

No. Ulcers are caused by a bacteria. If you have an ulcer strong spices may aggravate it but they do not cause it.
