Funny enough, I’ve almost never eaten spicy foods. Interesting way of finding where/if you have an ulcer!
Mine is in my terminal ileum and I can definitely feel when things are…tighter, for lack of a better description.
Definitely agree with recommending staying away from corticosteroids if you can avoid it. I was on them for a year and the side effects on them were not too horrible, but getting off was a whole other story! I am glad they were there though, as it was only thing keeping me from surgery/the hospital until I found a biologic that worked.
