Can't handle spicey foods like I used to

I used to be able to eat pizza, catsup, tacos, etc. Now these thing are too spicey for me. I read someplace the after having gastric bypass your taste buds can be more senstive to spicy food. Anyone else have this issue? I can take one bite of something I used to eat, have to stop eating it, my mouth feels like it's on fire sometimes.

Me too.  One bite of anything containing hot pepper will make me sick for 24-48 hours until that food works it way all the way through my system.  Thanks for writing this post.  It is good to hear that I am not the only one.  I am ten years out from a RNY.  It seems like the problem has gotten progressively worse as each year goes by.

I don't feel sick, my mouth just feels like it's on fire sometimes. After one bite I just stop eating the food that's the problem Makes me miss certain foods though that I used to be able to eat, simply because they are too spicy now.
