adding spices to foods bad?

[MMA864]

I am confused, some guys say spices are bad for your foods cause of gut issues and some say spices are good. I love spicy foods and love to use hot sauce on everything. I also love garlic and onions, I always ask for extra in restaurants. In terms of pure health and bodybuilding purposes can these be okay ?

Add spices I like them, dont pay attention to anyone that says they are bad

 

[stevesmi]

depends on the spices

I recommend following a low FODMAP approach. gut health is extremely important

things like paprika, black pepper, salt, herbs, etc. are low fodmap options

onions and garlic are high fodmap. those are the ones i would avoid

bro garlic and onions bad idea stinky breathe and stinky body, keeps vampires away but also keeps chicks away ha

They cause me gut issues but, for the majority, they're fine. A nice way for what can often be a bland if healthy bodybuilding diet to become tasty.

Salt and pepper are all that I use. They are to rough on my gut. If the food is prepared correctly it tastes good on its own.

They are fine in moderation just like anything

moderation is key

I like spices and hot sauce for food. Much better options than oil based dressings, etc.
