This happened to me at slice house because someone didn’t close the lid lmao

I’m learning this is a common prank :(

u/GildDigger 8d ago

Joke’s on them. I still smashed

That's gonna feel great in about 4 hours

u/GildDigger 8d ago

Haha this was a few months ago. I was fine! Thankfully I’ve got an iron stomach

u/BigBananaBerries 8d ago

I used to. Now I've got acid reflux.

u/24bics 8d ago

Same. Then I was prescribed pantoprozole. Fixed me right away. Happily eating my hot peppers again.

u/BigBananaBerries 8d ago

I've got omeprazole there & they do help but I've heard long term use can be damaging so I only take them when it's really bad. I've gave away my hot sauce collection to my Bro as it just gets ridiculous when you go hardcore with those. I'll stick with more milder stuff & less often then try suffer the consequences. If I don't eat too late I can usually deal with it but late spicey snacks omg. I almost wake up dead, choking on acid. Not fun times.

u/24bics 8d ago

No long term use here. I took it for about a month and never had the issue again. Gastro doc told me to just take Prilosec OTC if I ever had a flare up. That was almost 2 years ago already. Fortunately, still good. 🤞

Is that actually something people experience? I eat very spicy meals regularly and never had that problem in my life. Not even in Thailand where my mouth very much disagreed with my decisions.

They are weak and their bloodlines will be forgotten.

u/muffinscrub 8d ago

My mouth can tolerate a lot of spice, my insides? Not so much

u/Nik6ixx 8d ago

I’m just finding a lot of people have IBS because I never understood how Taco Bell fucks everyone’s stomach up and there’s me “you wanna go to Taco Bell?!” 😂

u/Michael_Dautorio 8d ago

When I was younger it never happened. Now at age 31 a single hot sauce packet is enough to make sitting uncomfortable for a while after taking a dump.

u/chokidokido 8d ago

I'm 41, so hopefully I dodged this development.

u/levian_durai 8d ago

Absolutely. I enjoy spicy food but past a certain point it upsets my stomach and I'll have spicy shits.

u/BigBagBootyPapa 8d ago

You are luckier than you may ever know in that regard.. my dad and I love spicy stuff. Buffalo hot wings as often as we could afford growing up. As soon as we were done, straight to the closest store to get each of us a personal bottle of Pepto for the night, sometimes that didn’t quite cover it.. thanks to all that punishment I can handle most spicy things without an issue or Pepto assistance but boy was it a painful journey..

u/chokidokido 8d ago

Seems like I'm lucky reading all those replies. I do get some heartburn from weird foods like oatmeal though but that's easier to not eat than my lovely spicy things.

1

u/BigBagBootyPapa 8d ago

You are quite lucky and I’m quite envious lol. I’m sure the envy will increase when I inevitably get stomach and gi tract issues later in life but honestly, worth it. Life would be much emptier without all the wonderful and delicious spicy foods the world has to offer

u/Cam_E_Leon 8d ago

What's goes in hot comes out hot

2

u/nailheadchamber 8d ago

Dude, I can't eat a goddamn jalapeno slice, I ate them from 20 years or so, then want to baseball game got some nachos w some on it. From that point in my life anytime I have them I feels like something is cutting my intestines, I can feel where it's at down there from the radiating pain. Been 20+ years still haven't learned my lesson though, Indian food is the devil at least thai people know how to remove the peppers when asked lol.

u/Fog_Juice 8d ago

For me it's about 11 hours later. My body rushes it out so it doesn't have time form a solid and it burns just as bad coming out as it did going in, but no milk to wash it down.

1

u/Mikeymcmoose 8d ago

Yes, it burns on the way out like it goes in. Thais definitely are not immune to stomach problems, lol.

u/TSM- YELLOW 7d ago

The uncooked flakes can be eaten without really registering the heat if they're just added at the end. I believe they may even skip proper digestion so the capsaicin doesn't really leave the flakes until it's too late to absorb it.

I've had deadly hot sauces, never really an issue despite it being so hot I had a spiritual awakening, but dry chili flakes have gotten me the next day for sure.

u/GildDigger 8d ago

Same! I’ve never gotten a stomach ache from spice except with extract (which doesn’t really count imo)

2

u/CKRatKing 8d ago

They are talking about it burning on the way out.

u/sfaviator 8d ago

I envy you my body would suffer much longer

1

u/xxhighlanderxx 8d ago

As would I. That looks delicious

u/Kaozz4718 8d ago

Shit, that's how I eat mine too.

u/souson321 8d ago

You are my hero of today’s. I just wanted to let you know

1

u/JVXCIX 8d ago

Are you a bird? Birds love seeds and don’t experience spicy the way humans do

1

u/Commercial_Let_1422 8d ago

Just the right amount!

1

u/Paranoma 7d ago

I mean that’s the establishments problem if you don’t want to eat it. They owe you another slice.

2

u/GildDigger 7d ago

I did report it and got another slice! So I downed both lol
