I 've been eating alot of spicy salsa and pork rinds this week. I have not had any problems but I was wondering if I am causing harm to my pouch by eating spicy foods. What have your experiences been with eating spicy foods? Thanks in advance. Diamond

I am not a doctor, but if it doesn't bother your pouch, than it probably will be fine. You might want to call you nutritionist just to be sure. I wish that I could eat spicy food, but it really upsets my stomach. ((((HUGS)))) Dawn

I eat spicy foods. Have since around 1 month post-op. In fact, it was literally all I could eat in the beginning! My doctor said as long as I didn't get sick, it was safe! -95lbs and 49 to goal

I love spicy foods and have only had one problem with them since surgery. I work down the stree from a Thai food restaraunt and have become addicted to the Thai basil chicken. It makes my nose run but is soooooo good. Melissa
