Dating? No, lol. I have been with my girlfriend since I was 15 and I am 24 in Feb, hahaha.
And if I was dating, if I told someone and they went off me, then I knew they would not stand by me through good and bad...best you know before you fall in love...can't get hurt if only dating.

I ended up in the ER for many hours with a very serious reaction in the stoma --- I just met with the stoma nurse this week for something else and was cautioned again about spices. I have an ileostomy but I imagine the tissue is still affected in a stoma....
I grew up as a little Cajun gal, eating all sorts of spicy food. After healing up from my ostomy, I slowly reintroduced all those foods I was used to, including full-spice Cajun dishes. No problems. I guess it depends more on what your system is already used to. I wouldn't push it if you are concerned, and I wouldn't do it every day, but don't let fear hold you back from enjoying your old favorites when you feel like it.
And yeah, the whole gas thing causes me much more grief than spicy foods!
I eat spicy food and just need to be prepared for runnier than normal stuff. The biggest concern is the funky smell. I can clear a building after eating spicy food or seafood! I found some stuff made by a medical supply dealer that helps like a miracle!
It's called Devrom from Parthenon Medical Supplies. They're based in Utah. I just order online. They have both capsules and chewable. I just do the chewable - seems to work better for me. Don't know how I ever got along without them!
