Slight Improvement
I have noticed a slight improvement in my mouth lately. Friday night we went to a barbecue restaurant and I ate all the beans without even thinking about it. Later I remembered that they put a little jalapeno in the beans. It didn't hurt at all!
Last month we went to New Mexico and ate some New Mexico red chile enchiladas in Taos. I thought they seemed a little hot, but not painful. We bought some dried, powdered red chile powder (mild/medium) and I tried making enchiladas using that. (We got the recipe at the restaurant.) It really seemed mild. I think we still have some of the hotter chile powder from the last time we went to NM; I'm going to try using a little of that next time.
Maybe eventually this will fade away and I will be able to eat hot peppers again!
