Answers:
I agree that you need to be sure and add vegetables to the diet but even though spices may not injure ones health in and of itself, each person needs to be aware of how their body acts to spices, especially as they get older!.

Many people end up having problems with their gall bladder and spices can aggravate that condition so if you notice you start having a lot of pain in the rib area or where the esophagus empties into the stomach (reflux), you need to see a doctor for treatment!. Across the counter pills may help temporarily but they may not completely take care of the problem, especially as you get older!.

Another problem some people experience is problems with their colon from too much spicy food!. If you start having a lot of diarrhea or soft bowel problems, it might be good to cut out the spices for a couple of months and then incorporate them back into the diet to see how you react to them!.

And remember gall bladder and bowel problems can be connected!. Listen to your body and get medical attention if it's needed!. I have a cousin who kept ignoring her gall bladder problems when she finally ended up in severe pain one night and had to be taken to the hospital for emergency surgery!. The doctor said he had to take it out in pieces because it had rotted!.

I have an aunt who is presently ignoring her problems and she is vomiting a lot so she'll end up being rushed to the hospital because she won't go in voluntarily and get it taken out!.

Both of them used to eat a lot of spicy foods when they were younger and although I doubt it caused the gall bladder to go bad, once it did, they had to be very careful what they ate after that!.

I developed reflux problems about 10 years ago and bought Titralac and kept it under control most of the time but now that I am older, I take Zegerid which has some bi-carb in it and that has worked wonders for me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As long as you are including some vegetables that sounds like a reasonably healthy diet!. Chilli may speed up the metabolism and may even be addictive according to the paragraph below from http://faq!.gardenweb!.com/faq/lists/peppe!.!.!.
What About The Capsaicin Addiction!? It is said that the burning sensation from capsaicin is addictive!. It is also said that one becomes “conditioned” to this sensation!. The reason is that during the eating of chillis, a chemical in the chili pepper called Capsaicin, irritates the trigeminal cells!. These are pain receptor cells located throughout the mouth, the nose and the throat!. When your body's nerves feel the pain induced by the chemical on these cells, they immediately start to transmit pain messages to your brain!. Your brain receives these signals and responds by automatically releasing endorphins (the body's natural painkiller)!. These endorphins kick in and act as a painkiller and at the same time, create a temporary feeling of euphoria, giving the chile pepper eater, a natural high!. As some may know by tasting several jalapenos, this heat level can vary from pod to pod, as the result of growth condition and genetics!. This is why you see a range of SHU’s above!. Each pod has its own "personality"!.
