Can I Eat Spicy Food If I Have SIBO? What You Need to Know
If you have SIBO, you likely already know that some foods can trigger symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort. And one common question is whether spicy food is safe.
The short answer: it depends. Spicy ingredients—like chili, hot peppers, or black pepper—can irritate the intestinal lining and increase inflammation. While they aren’t a direct trigger of SIBO, they can worsen symptoms in sensitive individuals. Some people tolerate small amounts (like a hint of pepper), but others feel symptoms immediately.
The key is to listen to your body: start with tiny amounts, monitor your reaction, and if you notice discomfort, avoid spicy food altogether.
