1. Spicy
food contains capsaicin, which can stimulate gastric mucosa and cause burning sensation, especially in the case of eating a lot.
2. Spicy food with increased acid
may stimulate increased acid secretion, while excessive acid can further stimulate gastric mucosa, which is easy to cause stomach burning sensation.
3. Gastric diseases
If there are chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases, due to gastric mucosa damage and increased acid secretion, it can be accompanied by stomach burning symptoms, and after eating spicy food, it can lead to stomach discomfort symptoms more obvious.
