My stomach tries to kill me if I eat foods that have food in them.

seen a couple of posts recently exploring preds as actors and having to film a swallowing scene, which was not something I’d really thought about. but then I kinda started thinking about it and… what about AFTER the swallowing scene? what about pred actors who have to film for hours on end, take after take, with a bellyful of prey? to cut on costs, the prey inside is an extra who makes a living out of being “the belly guy.” the pred actor legally has to take regular sips of water to keep digestion under control and periodically releases the extra for breaks (the prey extras are unionized btw). buuuut then they’re forced to swallow them down again and continue work. and just…

the pred has to stand awkwardly while the director talks to their belly, informing the extra when their cue to kick is and then having them practice a few times.

the pred doesn’t have any lines for the scene but they’re in the background and for continuity sake they have to be standing the whole time and they are SORE from the weight of the prey and if they could just rest their belly on this nearby table between takes…

the pred going into autopilot while they take notes and stroking their pleasantly full belly until they remember they’re in a professional environment and hopefully nobody saw that…

everybody just sorta,,, forgetting that the extra is still in the pred’s belly and talking about them like they’re not there. even going so far as to referring to them more as a prop that the pred actor has to handle rather than another living person.

trying to film a scene where the prey is fighting for their life inside the pred but they just can’t get it to look right and now the pred’s whole belly is sore and tender from so much struggling but, again, they don’t want to look unprofessional and rub their gut in front of everyone

or! on the other end of things… the prey has to put up with filming scenes where they’re kneaded into submission by the pred, rubbed tenderly by the pred’s co-star, or tossed around and squished during an action sequence

I could could go on but just …. ough

xie lian and hua cheng’s relationship is significantly more fun to me when i remember that they’re physically 17 and 18, so they just look like high schoolers. acne, wiry not-quite-mustache hairs on the corners of their mouths, tall specifically in that weird gangly growth spurt way. those however many licensed war gods got smushed bugstyle by a kid who looks like that high school classmate i had who was 6’6” and surprisingly mediocre at basketball

How Spicy Foods May Be Hurting Your Digestive System?

Spicy foods are a favorite for many, adding a bold kick to meals. From hot curries to spicy salsas, these flavors are loved for the excitement they bring to our taste buds. However, while chili peppers can make food tastier, they can also cause digestive issues for some people. That fiery heat can sometimes lead to discomfort like heartburn, bloating, and stomach pain. The compound capsaicin, which gives spices their heat, can affect how our body processes food. While some people can enjoy spicy dishes without a problem, others may experience discomfort in their stomach, intestines, or esophagus. 

If you’ve felt digestive issues after eating spicy food, you’re not alone. In this blog, we’ll look at how spicy foods might be affecting your digestion and what you can do to avoid discomfort while still enjoying the flavors you love.

Effects of Spicy Foods on Digestion

Spicy foods can have various effects on digestion, depending on individual tolerance and underlying health conditions. Here’s how they impact different parts of the digestive system:

1. Irritation of the Stomach Lining

One of the most common effects of spicy foods on digestion is stomach lining irritation. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat in chili peppers, can stimulate the stomach to produce more acid. This increase in stomach acid can lead to stomach lining irritation, causing symptoms such as indigestion, heartburn, or even gastritis issues in some individuals. For people who are prone to acid reflux or ulcers, consuming spicy foods can exacerbate these conditions, leading to uncomfortable and painful symptoms.

2. Exacerbating Hemorrhoids

For individuals who suffer from hemorrhoids, eating spicy foods can make the condition worse. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum and anus, which the consumption of spicy foods can aggravate. Spices can irritate the intestines and increase the sensation of discomfort during bowel movements. Furthermore, spicy foods may contribute to diarrhea, which can worsen the condition and lead to more irritation and pain. The increased pressure on the affected area during bowel movements, combined with the irritation from spices, can make the symptoms even more painful.

3. Digestive Discomfort and Gas

Spicy foods can also cause discomfort further down the digestive tract. For some individuals, eating spicy foods can lead to bloating, gas, and even diarrhea. This is because capsaicin can speed up the digestive process and may irritate the lining of the intestines. It can increase gut motility, leading to faster bowel movements that might result in an upset stomach, cramps, or diarrhea. These symptoms can be especially problematic for individuals with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), where the digestive system is already sensitive.

4. Increased Risk of Gastritis

Gastritis refers to the inflammation of the stomach lining, which can result in symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and upper abdominal pain. While gastritis can be caused by a variety of factors, consuming spicy foods frequently may contribute to the development or worsening of this condition. Capsaicin has been shown to irritate the stomach lining, which may increase the risk of gastritis in people who are already prone to it.

5. Potential Links to Stomach Ulcers

In addition to gastritis, spicy foods may also be linked to an increased risk of stomach ulcers. Stomach ulcers are open sores that form on the stomach lining, often as a result of bacterial infections or excessive use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although spicy foods themselves do not directly cause ulcers, they can aggravate existing ulcers by increasing stomach acid production. This can lead to increased pain and discomfort for those already suffering from ulcers. 

6. Triggering Acid Reflux

Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest and throat. Spicy foods can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a valve that keeps stomach contents from rising into the esophagus. When this valve weakens, it allows stomach acid to leak into the esophagus, leading to the familiar burning sensation known as heartburn. Individuals who suffer from acid reflux may find that spicy dishes can trigger or worsen their symptoms.

7. Sensitivity Varies Among Individuals

It’s important to note that not everyone will experience digestive discomfort from spicy foods. Sensitivity to spices varies among individuals, and some people can handle spicy foods without any issues. However, for others, even small amounts of spicy ingredients can lead to significant digestive problems. If you find that spicy foods consistently cause discomfort, it may be worth considering eliminating or reducing them in your diet. 

Wrapping Up

Spicy foods can be a delicious addition to meals, but they aren’t suitable for everyone. If you frequently experience digestive issues after eating spicy foods, adjusting your diet may help improve your overall gut health. Persistent discomfort might indicate an underlying problem, so it’s essential to pay attention to your symptoms. If you are facing frequent digestive issues, you should consult a Gastroenterologist in Centurion, as they can provide clarity and personalized guidance. Small dietary changes can go a long way in helping you enjoy flavorful meals without unnecessary discomfort, ensuring better digestive well-being in the long run.
