Did you know that spicy food contains capsaicin, an irritant that can make the symptoms of your irritable bowel syndrome worse? It also has a laxative effect and can cause diarrhoea.
If you're suffering from digestive problems, don't ignore them. Consult a specialist at Gleneagles Hospital to seek an assessment and treatment.
