Tips for Those with Sensitive Stomachs

You Can Still Supplement With Cayenne Even If You Have a Sensitive Stomach

If you have a sensitive stomach, and I do actually, and would like to supplement with cayenne pepper, I'd like to share with you some tips that I believe will help you.

Let's be honest, cayenne is hot to the taste and until one acclimates to it, it can burn very uncomfortably in the stomach as well as trouble the gastro-intestinal tract until it's defecated out.

(Usually in the beginning of supplementing with it, one will notice it comes out hot.)

I've learned a few tips that I believe can help. I've also been the recipient of some wonderful tips from my readers of this site from around the globe.

So, I can't take credit for all of the info in this short article. I appreciate the feedback I receive and the tips as well.

So, without any further adieu, let's talk aobut some of those tips for those who may have sensitive stomachs yet want to supplement with cayenne pepper powder.

I go over some of these tips in the cayenne pepper drink options page, but let me add a few here.

  • If you have a sensitive stomach, try drinking the cayenne with tomato juice. This option is really effective in helping those with sensitive stomachs
  • Try drinking cayenne with carrot juice as well. I got this tip from a reader of this site and it's a good one. I personally love carrot juice and make my own fresh all the time with my well-used Breville juicer
  • Drink the cayenne after you eat a goodly amount of vegetables. Cayenne seems to mix really well with potatoes in particular
  • Try swallowing a few slippery elm capsules or slippery elm powder in water before you drink your cayenne pepper. Slippery elm is one of the most soothing foods or medicinal herbs in nature. I've used this herb constantly through the past 20 years and can personally testify of its effectiveness. It's inexpensive, too. At your local health food store, you can find it in its native powder form or in capsules

Most of the discomfort of drinking the cayenne pepper powder will be experienced by those who drink it on an empty stomach. I actually favor this for cayenne helps to keep the stomach tissue healthy.

The characteristic burning of the cayenne is actually helpful for the stomach. Still, for some taking cayenne with food may be more "user friendly" and I understand that.

You'll also notice if you take cayenne for a period of time that the burning goes away as the body acclilmates to it.

I mention this as that's been my experience. I myself have a sensitive stomach and can tolerate cayenne just fine.

These above tips will help as well. Still, there needs to be a convenience or usability factor with the cayenne.

Thus, I recommend drinking it with tomato juice (like V8 juice, for example) or with carrot juice. My all-time favorite is drinking cayenne with orange juice as it gives a nice taste with a good kick, but that's not for everybody either.

Drinking cayenne with orange juice, and other vitamin C-rich drinks, can help eliminate influenza as well as prevent it. (See this article within this site for more information.)

The tomato juice in particular is very tolerable for those who really want to improve the usability factor of cayenne.

That said, and needless to say, drinking the fabled "cayenne tea" in warm water will always be the ideal or optimum way to drink it. But that is hard for some people and I understand that.

That's it. The tips here are simple but they are effective. These tips are not vague conceptualized, academic recommendations but real-world tips from real people.

They work for others and perhaps they will work for you, too.
