And I’m glad you clarified that chili can help kill H.pylori, something which I’ve been telling my friends for a while! It’s perfectly okay to eat chili!Do you have a Twitter account?
Doctor2008 replies: Thanks for the thumbs up! Don’t use twitter though as I think its a telco plot, but that’s another story..

Never knew that capsaicin stuff can be so addicting!!

Doctor2008: Its the endorphins! Those regular joggers will know how it feels when they miss out on their daily ‘fix’!

Yes, that Indian Chili (Naga Jolokhia) is real hot. One could actually get that kind in Sarawak that even those seasoned “chili padi” munchers/eaters would find it very (sometimes too) hot to “handle”.

I need few clarifications:
(1) What do you mean by stomach irritation?
(2) Could eating chili cause stomach ulcer?
(3) Does H pylori cause stomach ulcer?

Thanks.
Doctor2008 replies: At one time, peptic ulcers were thought to be due to stress and spicy foods; nowadays they are all attributed to the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. At the most, chili irritates the stomach and intestines causing a burning sensation,gas build-up and diarrhoea.
