Sometimes when I eat very spicy food, I can get stomach cramps after. I'm not sure why. Other times I'm fine. I love Indian food, especially spicy curries. Maybe I'm not drinking enough water or something beforehand. But as far as I know, I don't have IBS or anything like that.

Cap(saicin) cramps! More water beforehand might help, but I think the only way to really get rid of that response is to condition your body to the level of capsaicin you're putting in it. Even then, if you eat enough it's going to trigger a response.

It's intermittent for me. Most of the time I'm fine. But once in a while, the same level of spiciness will give me cramps. Who knows?
