Although spicy foods don’t cause ulcers, they can trigger abdominal pain in some people. One study specifically highlighted that frequent consumption of spicy foods can trigger upper gastrointestinal symptoms in some people with dyspepsia (or, indigestion).
Q. Why do I feel hot after eating spicy food?
The most common reason people sweat when they eat involves spicy foods like peppers. Peppers have a chemical called capsaicin that triggers the nerves that make your body feel warmer, so you sweat to cool it back down. Your face also may be flushed, your nose may run, and your eyes may water.

Q. Can spicy food kill bacteria?
“Spicy” food really does not kill bacteria. Adding ingredients with high levels of either capsicum (hot peppers), or allyl-isothiocyanate (mustard, horseradish, wasabi) can sometimes inhibit or slow down bacteria in a test-tube, but assuming that prepared food would be safe from bacterial growth is completely wrong.
Q. What’s the hottest chip?
Carolina Reaper Chip
Q. Does the One Chip Challenge hurt your stomach?
It was EXTREMELY hot, as expected. It was a really fun challenge to do. Little pro tip I highly recommend eating something first so your stomach has other food at the same time as the chip. The stomach pain afterwards is pretty uncomfortable.
Q. What do you drink after the hot chip challenge?
The second thing you will need is milk and/or ice cream, which is great for cutting the heat. After eating the chip they said that they had burning in their throat and milk helped a little bit, but ice cream was more effective.
Q. How long does the Burn last from the one chip challenge?
Some people report that the burning sensation in your mouth can last up to 20 minutes, but the digestive pain can last anywhere from 2-5 hours.
Q. What are the rules to the One Chip Challenge?
DO NOT EAT IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO SPICY FOODS, ALLERGIC TO PEPPERS, NIGHTSHADES OR CAPSAICIN, OR ARE PREGNANT OR HAVE ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. AFTER TOUCHING THE CHIP, WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES OR OTHER SENSITIVE AREAS.
Q. What are the side effects of the one chip challenge?
Stomach Pains These will typically arise if you’re eating something way too spicy. The ensuing sensations can range from mildly discomforting to also feeling like there’s a molten rock in your stomach. That’s how I felt after taking on the One Chip Challenge, and it took at least a few hours for me to recover.
