I went camping over the weekend. In a trailer with a bathroom of course. I made an ommlet yesterday morning with cheese, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. It was sooooo good! But later that evening when i went to the bathroom it burned really bad. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this experience with red bell peppers. I was thinking maybe because i didnt vein it. But i can eat a jalepeno with no problem. Or maybe it was something else.

It could have been anything - including different water. Next time you go, slather on butt cream while you're camping just as a preventative. I hope you had a great time out there.

Lysie,
I have eaten raw Red Bell Peppers evey night in my salad before and since getting the J-pouch (7yr's) with no problems. Sometimes it can be a hidden ingredent that isn't even hot to the taste, that can burn the first couple of times we go. That has happened to me, then I can eat very hot tasting things like salsa etc and never have any problems. Its wierd.

Lysie,

Could it have been the eggs? The first few months after takedown I had really bad burning whenever I ate eggs. It got better with time and I can eat them with no problem now. Good luck and as Kathy said, butt cream can really help. Hope you had a great time camping.

If you had lots of sugar that day, too, that might be it. Sometimes when I eat lots of processed sugars (bread, candy), I feel the burn

Thank you guys for the advice. I was thinking that it might have been the eggs too,lynnZee. I guess I will just have to try them both seperately and see what the reaction is.

Hey Lysie ... I'm gonna vote for the eggs as well. Maybe even a combo of all of them. But eggs still do give me some of the burny-burny from time to time ...

Hope your experiments go well! Take care ...

I just thought of something else that might have made you burn. Did you have Black Pepper?Pepper can be hot coming out

yeah i did have some crushed black pepper. But i have eaten it before. Maybe it was that though. thanks dgloria5

I'm saying it's definitly the cheese. I've found that foods like quesadillas or mac andd cheese are massive nono's since take down.

It could also be a mix. A couple things that cause small problems which multiply each other when eaten together.
