How old are you? I’m 43 and never had any issues with spicy until a few years ago. Now it will bother me a bit and I have GERD.

Could try a high quality probiotic like seed.

I've noticed I get the bloat after eating now pretty much all the time.

Try pepto for three days. The stuff is the most powerful stomach reliever. Then start eliminating anything you suspect. Mine was milk products and acid from oranges. Sometimes it takes a week off from something to get relief. Look into  your supplements too. Magnesium can fuck up your stomach too.

Didn't you just post last year you are overweight and borderline diabetic?  If so, that can be one reason.  Gastroperisis (I probably spelled that wrong) is a condition where your stomach doesn't empty properly or completely.  This can lead to those symptoms you have.  Blood sugar levels can trigger this.  You can eat super clean and still jack your levels up without knowing it.  Have you measured/monitored your A1C and levels in the morning for a while?

Are you taking fiber with every meal?

You may need to rethink what you think healthy food is too.

Sauerkraut. Not caned. The ones that come in the jar or bag cold. Best probiatic there is. Have some with every meal....

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, and prebiotics are food for these bacteria. Eating foods or supplements containing both can help balance your gut.

No spices, no salt, no mustard, no coffee and most importantly no preservatives(which is found in nearly every packed food item).
Try blending raw eggs with unripe bananas and some unheated honey. Only the best quality of goods is good enough so be prepared to dish out the monies.

Coconut cream & papaya may help too.

I can't say these are causing the bloat but they are not good for you to eat.

Also, artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols (erythritol for example) are known to cause gut issues.  Check to see if any foods you eat contain them.

Have you recently eaten actual shit, licked a prostitute's ass, or swam in filthy seas? Possibly all 3? Get checked for a Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection. I had it and it gave me all those symptoms. Apparently, around 40% of people in the UK have it, many without knowing. Similar percentage in the US.

I'll confess to 2 out of the 3, lol. I caught cholera not long after it, which means I definitely ate shit at some point. Despite the worst diarrhea imaginable, I still didn't manage to 'fall out of a chair and twist my knees' like someone we know. Immodium and an IV and I was back to work.

Pretty much everyone has gut problems as they age. Just one more reason why getting old sucks.

Think you may be right. Considering trying amylase, lipase and protease myself to see if there's any changes. I do get bloat, sometimes, but I'm very blasé about what I eat since I've never been a sweet tooth, and that's kind of made me less concerned about my diet in general.

I'm pretty sure on here many years ago when I was lurking there was a post about a tablet or supplement you can take which neutralises the smell of your farts. Not being funny, but I'd be less bothered about them if they didn't stink that much. I probably imagined that post in a dream when on some of those wild sleeping tablets, and such a thing doesn't exist.

Didn't know sweeteners did that. Can drink tea and coffee without but have used them in the past. I still think that not eating sugar products like dessert, chocolate or even fruit except maybe once in a blue moon is what has kept my skin young.

Had this screenshot in my phone from a YouTube vid either about leaky gut or candida. I currently take 2 of the 3. A lacto/bifido blend and saccharomyces boulardii. I was getting candida very easily, so I cut out white rice, other starches and wheat
