Anyone else get capsaicin cramps/vomiting from their daily hot sauces out of nowhere?

I daily use Torchbearer Garlic Reaper and Bertie’s Scorpion Pepper sauce. They don’t give me more than a low to moderate burn unless I completely cover my food in them. I was using the sauces on some Porto’s and then maybe 30 minutes later, I started cramping and threw up. I must’ve had a capsaicin overload or something, which is weird because I didn’t even use that much. I didn’t use the sauces on an empty stomach either. I had some of the Porto’s before using them. Maybe I didn’t eat enough before the sauces or I used more than I thought.

Do you have acid reflux? I know hot sauce and peppers can mess with your stomach if you have acid reflux
