@ardillo46, diet can definitely be a contributing factor. In addition to the article that Teresa provided (great source!), here is one from Mayo that also states the same information regarding spicy foods.

Have you asked your boyfriend to cut back on the amount of pepper that he uses when he cooks to help you control the hot flashes?
