Can Chilli Powder Cause Stomach Ulcers?

I’m from India. I got a question about chilli powder or I guess paprika in the west. Can chilli cause any problem with my stomach or intestine? Can it cause ulcers? Because the whole of internet says it’s good.

Chilies are a healthy ingredient that most people can eat without having problems. Even though, it is also possible for a stomach to become upset, or intestines to be inflamed with chili. Stomach irritations like these can lead to symptoms such as stomach pain, acid indigestion, or indigestion. In rare cases, some people can develop ulcers after eating extremely spicy foods. These sores can appear in the stomach or intestines' lining and cause discomfort and pain. In case of nausea, an antispasmodic should be taken right before bed.

I am suffering from fast heartbeat and with abdomen doscomfort and am unabke to gain weight

Female | 23

It seems like you may have hyperthyroidism. This occurs when your thyroid is too active which results in rapid heartbeats and discomfort in the abdomen. Additionally, it can be difficult for you to gain weight. Treatment may involve taking medications or undergoing other therapies that can help regulate the levels of your thyroid hormones. Therefore, you need to see a doctor so that they can diagnose and treat it properly.

I got into a fight and was suffocating under someone's weight when I coughed up blood. After which, I ingested some harpic and it hurts my chest and near my stomach to swallow anything at all. This was 2 days ago. I weigh 60 kgs. I also get blurry vision sometimes although I'm unsure if its the trauma to my head or harpic.

Female | 17

You might have serious internal injuries. If you cough up any blood, have chest pain or trouble swallowing, or cannot see clearly, you should be concerned. Ingesting Harpic might have hurt your esophagus and stomach even more. Internal bleeding or other complications could be why these symptoms are occurring; therefore it is vital that you seek immediate medical attention.

Recently I done my gall bladder operation after that I'm suffering from weird water thaili & that can't stop yet doctor said I used to stent for it what should I do know I'm very confused please guide me

Male | 64

This may be bile duct stenosis where your bile duct gets narrowed. When this happens, it can block up and cause those symptoms you’re feeling. The kind of stent the doctor was talking about is a tiny tube placed in there to keep that passage open. You must follow everything he says about this and any other treatments they give you. Keep in touch with your doctor so that they can help manage things properly for you.

You must see a doctor immediately to determine your symptoms' cause. It could be anything from a stomach virus to a foodborne illness to a more serious condition. Your doctor can run tests to determine the cause and provide the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding foods that could worsen your symptoms.

My dad is suffering from gastric problem. He took medicines. But he didn't get relief.

Male | 45

Your dad's gastric issue is conce­rning. The meds don't see­m effective. Stomach proble­ms bring pain, bloating, and discomfort. Medications may fail if diet or stress cause­ the issue. Spicy foods, large me­als, and stress worsen symptoms. Smaller portions, stress manage­ment, and avoiding trigger foods may improve his condition.

Doctor, My son have colostomy surgery. I want to know how much time to second OT for normal out stool process....?

Male | 2month 10days

After a colostomy operation, it may take some time for your son to have normal bowel movements. This is normal as the body needs time to adjust. It usually takes about a week for bowel movements to return. During this time, it’s important to stay hydrated, eat nutritious food, and follow the advice of healthcare professionals. If you notice any alarming symptoms such as severe pain, abdominal swelling, or no bowel movements for an extended period, consult your doctor immediately.

During intermittent fasting i have diarrhoea what should I eat when i break the fast

Male | 21

Ah, see­ms diarrhea has interrupted your inte­rmittent fasting schedule. Diarrhe­a is frequent bowel move­ments, often caused by fasting's e­ffects on digestion. When e­nding your fast, opt for gentle foods like bananas, plain rice­, or toast. These soothe the­ stomach. Hydrate extensive­ly with lots of water. If diarrhea persists, se­ek medical advice.
