    okay but seriously is this actually a thing that happens to people? i can’t recall ever eating food that made my stomach hurt, closest would be how some junk food makes me feel generally miserable or if i eat so much that i feel like i’m going to explode.

    Kinda feels like a lot of people are living with IBS or somesuch and just assume that’s normal…

      Sometimes when I eat very spicy food, I can get stomach cramps after. I’m not sure why. Other times I’m fine. I love Indian food, especially spicy curries. Maybe I’m not drinking enough water or something beforehand. But as far as I know, I don’t have IBS or anything like that.

      It’s pretty normal to get cramps from a food that is much spicier than you’re used to. I think that’s what OP is implying with Indian food.

      I like spicy food so it usually doesn’t bother me, but if I put a couple ghost peppers in my food I’m going to feel it later.
