Yeah, that's a point, I hadn't thought about IBS. But ulcers? I'm
ulcer-prone, and I've cleared up two of mine quite rapidly by eating
chiles, and had a marked reduction in pain during the process.
Fortunately my internist's a chilehead who doesn't think I'm insane when
I say that; 'fact, he wishes he could persuade some of his other ulcer
patients to give it a try.
