It has nothing to do with your bone injury or the treatment thereof. I suppose you may regain your affiliation  for spicy food as it happened during Corona time when many people lost their sense of smell or taste.

Must be gut dysfunctioning notably inflammation post antibiotics use in surgical treatment. On surface these may seem trivial issues but practically they point towards deeper health issues

Post surgery ,most likely medicines may have altered the taste and  caused gastritis which may require a few weeks with PPI to get healed.

After surgery, some people may experience spice intolerance due to gastrointestinal sensitivity, medications, dietary changes, stress, and inflammation, and can manage it by avoiding or reducing spicy foods, choosing mild options, and gradually reintroducing spices.

Yes, it can happen due to post-surgery medications, stress, or changes in the digestive system, but it's not very common.

It's not uncommon to develop food intolerances or changes in taste perception after surgery, especially due to certain medications. Post-surgical antibiotics, painkillers, and anti-inflammatory medications can disrupt the gut microbiome or irritate the stomach lining, leading to gastritis or altered digestion. This could explain your newfound intolerance to spicy foods. Medications like antibiotics also influence the balance of gut flora, which might temporarily affect your ability to handle spices. In some cases, it could be related to postoperative stress or hormonal changes as well. It would be beneficial to try avoiding spicy food for a few weeks, focus on a bland diet to allow your gastrointestinal system to recover, and consider using a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) if symptoms like acidity persist. If the issue continues, a consultation with a gastroenterologist might be helpful to assess for any underlying conditions like gastritis or dysbiosis that may need further management.
