I can't handle spicy food most of the time.What's the best way to handle spicy food.
BESIDES drinking milk...

Thanks in advance!

Answer:
There are a few ways to handle spicy(hot) food. First understand you have to start slowly and work yourself up to being able to handle a lot of heat. It can take years. I would recommend that you don't add the spice to the food. Keep it on the side. Use it like a dipping sauce. You won't need a lot and it will help you handle the heat better. For the times you need to put out the "fire", drink something sweet. Do not drink soda it won't help. Ice tea, lemonade, sweet juice drinks. Even a teaspoon of sugar will help if that is all the is available.
Not eat it.
actually I think that the best way to handlle is isnt with milk, but with lemonade. but on a further note. dont start with the spiciest thing on the menu.. if you must work your way up... like at Baja Fresh start with the mild chip sause and work your way up... or at Taco Bell start with the Mild at one end of the taco and the fire on the other (*note. dont put the entire packet on each end! put a couple of drops!)
Well, you can either


1) not eat it
2) have a yoghurt after it, as this will really quickly cool you mouth and stomach
3) have slices of cucumber after spicy food, which also cools you down
4) have slice of lemon - really fast relief
5) dont drink water as it makes it worse


I love spicy food. The hotter it is the better for me.
Something like bread or noodles will help absorb the hot volatile oils in the peppers in both your mouth and your stomach. Milk does help by coating your mouth but the effect is really temporary.
Never try cooling with water or a hot beverage like tea or coffee. Hot drinks will actually help the oils to spread out further and make things worse.
Personally, I can handle a lot of heat in peppers. It is not something I tried to do. I just ate lots of food spiced with peppers that suited me and over time it gradually got hotter. But I didn't really notice it going up since the peppers were nearly as hot as the other. This is because there is such a wide range of peppers that vary in intensity from that of something like geen bell peppers up to jalapenos, serranos and onward past the habaneros all the way to the hottest pepper (bhut jolokia).
I grow a lot of my own peppers and enjoy the benefits that a nearby nursery grows peppers for a club that enjoys them. This year I am lucky enough to have both the bhut jolokia as well as the fiery red savina habanero. They are among the hottest in the world. I have also grown chocolate habs which are very hot, and a lot of other peppers, such as tepin, thai dragon chiles, birds eye chiles, cayenne peppers, poblano peppers, lots of jalapenos and plenty of new mexican chiles (for chili powder and enchilada sauce). I don't really grow milder peppers such as bell peppers or banana peppers. Not because I don't use them, but I run out of room and like to focus on the spicy ones, since I do a lot of spicy cooking at home.
That would be the other thing that helps raise your heat tolerance, by cooking food at home with spicy peppers. Try making chili, Asian stir fries, spicy curries and other spicy foods. There are so many choices!
Just remember not to make food so hot you can't eat it. The tolerance will come. And you may just enjoy cooking lots more food yourself, which I find to be much better than eating out.
best way is to start with mild spicy sauces. work your way up to the killer spices after that.
In India spicy food is balanced with cool raita or yogurt .

Here are some yogurt recipes. Try the cucumber one as it would be more cooling. http://store.indianfoodsco.com/infopage.
Spicy foods should be eaten with some sort of a bread.
Serve it with steamed rice. A couple of bites relieves the heat. Start slow and work your way up. You will get used to it.
Eating yogurt right after is the best way to feel better after a spicy meal :D
Avoid eating any sugar or sugary drinks as it will only sharpen the spice further.
Add lime juice to the food. Add little extra salt. This will make it palatable. Eating yogurt or yogurt preparation on side, preferably with raw onion cools your mouth yet lets you enjoy the spice. You may eat only plain raw onion with salt and lime juice with the food. Adding coconut to the recipe is a well known trick (fresh or dried) so is the addition of fresh cream. Use of tamtind juice or pulp in the food is also a way to balance spices. Eating fresh green chilies with spicy hot food is normal balancing act, but not for the beginners. Drinking hot(fire hot) and spicy curry between the meals is a common practice in India.
Always remember that salt is the key. (More of it)
take anti acids for heart burn and such, maylox(or however u spell it) it is great. Good luck.
If you have a medical condition, ask your G.P. to review it with you.
In a Mexican restaurant, always order warm flour tortillas. Take one, butter it, and roll it up. After you take a bite of something too hot for you, take a bite of tortilla. It will kill the "fire" very quickly.
Ask that your food be made with any chilies on the side!
In other restaurants, like Indian or Thai,
ask for a bowl of steamed rice. The rice will do the same as the tortilla in reducing the spiciness.
You can also acclimate yourself to hot and hotter food by buying small jars of salsas and hot sauce and adding them to your food until you find a comfort level.
