Why Do I Crave Spicy Foods So Much?

[Opioidus]

This is a new thing, a couple of months now, I can't put down the hot sauce, I crave spicy foods to such a degree that I have stopped eating normal dinner, and instead eat crisps laced in hot sauce! What could be the reason behind this new craving? I read somewhere craving spicy food means your body immune system is weak?!

I think spicy food stimulates your adrenals and increases dopamine/progesterone like salt. If you are eating too much sugar, calcium, and liquids relative to your thyroid function then you might be craving the spicy food to temporarily stimulate your system.
