grammy4 17 Posted April 26, 2016 Hi, I had nachos last night at a ballgame--had a few jalapenos. A few hours later my stomach really hurt. Still hurts this morning. Think it's because it took the jalapenos a while to pass through the band? Seems like my Protein bar even irritated my stomach today. I've taken a few rolaids and it IS better. Any thing out there that you all avoid like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisacaron 5,075 Posted April 27, 2016 @@grammy4 how long have you been banded? I would say yes that the jalapenos could have irritated your stomach and even caused a bit of swelling internally. Give yourself a little recovery time, have a shake or two and let things settle down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julie norton 2,850 Posted April 27, 2016 I also have a difficult time with spicy foods , salsa and such. It just seems to irritate my band and stomach, so I avoid them. Thank goodness I was never much for spicy before the band! Hope your stomach has settled down and you don't suffer consequences on the other end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
