hi,

I avoid spice food in any form. But sometimes, I occassionally have some spicy food. This often occurs when I start to chew -- I reallize the food is a bit spicy, but I can not stop as someone else may be looking at me. I wonder how you deal with this situation. thanks.

I generally eat the one bite, hope for the best, and then avoid the offending food for the rest of the meal.
If I'm eating with my family, I will ask them for "spice reports" - and at this point, they know to warn me if anything is spicy the minute they taste it.

I have occasionally put a napkin to my mouth and ditched the offending food there..... but that's sometimes hard to do, say, at a business lunch.

I avoided virtually all "hot" spice for 25 years, and in the last year I've started to eat things with a little more heat once in a great while..... and interestingly, it hasn't affected me. But.... I think my idea of "hot" is very, very mild compared to what others would think!

I do the same as Songlady. I ask if it's spicy from the people around me. If they are people I don't know well and don't know that I have Uc, I just say I have a sensitive stomach. They seem to understand that. But I too have just spit in a napkin, discreetly.

When I am eating food with friends, I ask them for "spicy reports" too. They may say "Oh, no, it is not spicy, you can taste it". However, what they say is not spicy is still spicy for me.

People without UC hold a different view of whether a food is spicy or not from us.
