I had thoda spicy chicken curry last night and woke up with this burning kind of pain in my stomach. Im 22 weeks now and craving spicy stuff badly. Does spicy food actually cause this or is it something else?
When I had bad nausea, spicy food made my acidity ten times worse. I switched to milder food for a while and felt so much better. Listen to your tummy yaar.
Dont stress, spicy food just gives acidity not real harm. I still had my masala cravings, just kept it light. If it burns, switch to something cooling na.
Beta too much chilli can cause heartburn in these months. A little buttermilk or saunf after meals helped me a lot. But if the pain is sharp or strong, do tell your doctor.
Too much spicy food can give you acidity and stomach discomfort, especially later in pregnancy. It wont harm the baby but it can make you uncomfortable. Just eat it in moderation and you should be fine.
