Side Effects of Capsaicin
Digestive problems
Ingesting too much capsaicin (often in the form of eating too many spicy foods) can cause a lot of mild to serious, and acute to chronic digestion problems in people. Frequently experienced digestive side effects to eating too much spicy food include: diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, cramps, burning sensations, development of stomach ulcers, and acid reflux. If you suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), eating too much capsaicin can make those symptoms much worse too. Asthma
Contrary to popular belief, it has been observed that if hot pepper is consumed in high enough quantities, it can actually trigger an asthma attack, typically in those who already have chronic cases of asthma, by causing air passages to spasm. This reaction can be potentially dangerous if you don’t have an emergency inhaler or a nebulizer nearby. If you struggle with chronic asthma, it’s advised that you should stay away from hot pepper in large quantities. With most types of foods, tolerances can still be built up – so if you’re a spicy food fan and an asthmatic, you shouldn’t have to worry too much. As always, talk to your doctor when considering changing up your diet. Another quick fix for capsaicin-induced asthma is antihistamines, traditionally used for allergic reactions.
