If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach when eating malatang, you should be careful, especially because the ingredients in some street malatang are unhygienic and unhealthy, and can easily irritate the stomach and intestines.

In this case, you should pay attention to gastrointestinal conditioning and eat a lighter diet. If the condition is serious, you should seek medical attention in time.

I had spicy hotpot and my stomach felt uncomfortable.

Symptoms of abdominal pain after eating spicy food are caused by irritating the gastric mucosa due to spicy food, which may cause acute gastritis. It may also be peptic ulcer.

It is recommended to avoid spicy stimulation, raw, cold, greasy food, and drinking alcohol in the near future, and go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital for treatment. After the diagnosis is confirmed, it is generally necessary to use omeprazole and other drugs to protect the gastric mucosa.

The harm of spicy hot pot

Driven by profit, many vendors or seafood retailers often use industrial alkali and formalin foaming, which are banned by the country, in order to make seafood look fresh and preserve it for a longer time. It is understood that industrial alkali is cheaper than edible alkali, but it contains a large amount of impurities that are harmful to the human body. Formalin is a 40% formaldehyde solution (mostly used for preservation and shaping of specimens). It is often used by vendors to soak seafood because it can keep seafood in its original fresh state and enhance its toughness, giving people a feeling of freshness and high quality.

In fact, formalin is quite toxic. It can easily cause discomfort and lesions in the throat, mouth, esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, etc. after consumption. Eating large amounts or frequently consuming seafood soaked in formalin can damage the human liver and even induce cancer.

Usually, seafood soaked in formalin is not only tougher, but also has a pungent smell. The vendors cover up the odor by applying spicy seasoning on the squid skewers, so it is not easy to be noticed. Therefore, it is recommended that people who like to eat street spicy hot pot strengthen their self-protection awareness.
