Stomach pain from eating spicy food is related to food irritation and damage to the protective barrier of the gastric mucosa. Most spicy foods are stimulating foods, and a small amount can promote blood circulation and will not affect human health. When too much spicy food is consumed, it will stimulate the gastric mucosa, leading to spasm and contraction of the smooth muscle of the gastric wall, thus causing pain in the stomach. Patients suffering from chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer disease should reduce the intake of spicy food. After eating spicy food with stomach pain, you can drink honey water and warm milk appropriately to dilute the spicy substances, while protecting the gastric mucosa and reducing the symptoms.
