Re: Is it common to vomit when taking cayenne?

I would guess that perhaps you pushed it a bit too much too quickly.  I love cayenne and take it regularly (a dropper or so of extract) and, though it frequently results in momentary hiccups I have never had any urge to vomit.  However, excess cayenne pepper has been reported to cause intense stomach pain, vomiting and even worsening of ulcers. I am somewhat like you in that I like to jump in on things, but some things are best not jumped into too quickly or too largely.  Cayenne pepper appears to be one such thing for you.  I have seen it recommended, btw, to start off with 1/4 teaspoon in a warm glass of water and slowly work your way up as you become more acclimated.

I hope that helps.
