I’m not even IC or fecal-IC and I still pay special attention to some of my foods. I love curries, but any curry that’s heavy on coconut milk, cream, or oil or has lots of raw onion tends to irritate me. I’ve had a few episodes that would have been disasterous if I wasn’t close to a bathroom. I can’t say if it will make the overall condition worse, but as long as you’re willing to put up with the consequences, it appears to be temporary, unless you’re going so spicy that anyone would react to it. Bless my poor wife. She uses to eat paint-strippingly spicy and now she can’t and misses it.
