Question: is a spicy food bad for you?
Answer: Spicy foods are healthy. Spicy foods don't cause ulcers, but be careful if you have irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Basically, if spicy foods give you belly pain, think before you eat. Spicy foods don't cause hemorrhoids, but you may feel the burn if you have anal fissures.
