Happened again tonight. Hot curry with bits of hot pepper in it.
A few bites ... Hic! Hic! Hic! Hic!
Been eating curries etc for years with no problems. What gives? Anyone else suffer this affliction?
Am I possessed or something, need an exorcism of a hiccup demon that is annoyed by chilli?

no - it's common. body cannot handle it. it's trying to slow you down.
you see it in Man versus food. the food tv show. hot wings challenges. they use ceyenne pepper spray as a cs gas substitute - crowd control. |

You should consider what's in your stomach before you eat your curry.

i sometimes get it from eating too quickly. slow down.
I also noticed I suffer when i eat things with skins. Peppers, tomatoes, onions, apples. it's insoluble fibre. So i tend to peel them. I imagine the skins, sticking to the stomach lining? whether this is the case? but peeling solves it. |

I imagine the skins, sticking to the stomach lining? Aye, combined with years worth of chewing gum it could cause a proper blockage. |

then the seeds sprout too? mini trees in your poo...?
 no, had a bout of puking (for months) - the skins were not being digested. bits of pepper skins were coming up. too much information. i looked it up - skins are insoluble fibre - some people have trouble as they age. Along with lactose intolerance. Dutch study. |

I saw something on tv the other night. A guy said we have a gene to deal with lactose but over time the gene has been "switched off" in populations in certain parts of the world. If that is true the more we avoid the stuff the sooner we will all lose tolerance. I can't see the point in disabling natural defences.

nothing to do with genes. it's a sugar. i have a tricky pancreas, doctors tested my lipase and amylase levels.
milk now fks me. used to drink a glass every morning for twenty years for breakfast. i limit myself to cereal once a month. |

Best advice is have yogurt with diced cucumber in it, as this lines your digestive tract and stomach.
