Learn More »Food can be… confusing. Should you be avoiding gluten at all costs? Gobbling up avocados as fast as humanly possible? Well+Good's nutrition experts are setting the story straight when it comes to food, cutting through the hype and hand-wringing and getting you the most comprehensive information on what you should (and maybe shouldn't) put in that body of yours. See All My friend with IBS and I have a running joke. Whenever one of us (not saying who) indulges in an eccentric spice-filled feast, we text the other the movie poster for the fictional South Park universe film Terrence and Phillip: Asses of Fire. I was thinking on that joke when I went to Butt-Con the other month and tapped functional medicine doctor Mark Hyman, MD to ask about the perceived link between spicy food and my digestive woes. Because honestly, I'm sick of getting literally burned by my love of food with a kick. However, I learned that while spicy food can cause problems for people with IBS (like my friend), in general they're pretty good for your digestive health. "Spices can really be helpful for your gut because they help protect your gut flora," Dr. Hyman says. "They help fertilize the good bugs; they kill the bad bugs." "I love spicy food for the taste, but I also love its effects for the GI tract," agrees gastroentologist Niket Sonpal, MD. "One of the biggest misconceptions of spicy food is it gives people reflux or ulcers. Just because it burns a little bit on the way in doesn’t mean it causes any other burning."

"It also works to relieve gut irritation." Zeitlin says you can drink ginger as a tea, add it to your smoothies, or copy her trick and ask for double ginger on the side with your sushi.
