I am thinking that hot flash may be what you are looking for. It means a sudden, temporary sensation of heat (usually experienced by some women during menopause or by eating fried foods).
So, I think that it has the meaning of 飲食上火
Fried foods cause an increase in hot flash activity for me.

Metabolic temperature is the heat energy generated through all your organ systems from the food -- the fuel -- that you eat and that your digestive system burns.

Some foods, such as tofu or ice cream, produce a characteristic internal coldness. Others, such as ginger or chicken, generate internal heat.

So if you are referring to 食物使人上火, 火氣大, you can state that the food generates internal heat.
使人上火食物 - Food that generates internal heat.
上火 - Hot flash
I hope that I am heading at the right direction.

This article talks about 上火”是中醫學專用名詞。如果出現咽喉幹痛、兩眼紅赤、鼻腔熱烘、口幹舌痛以及爛嘴角、流鼻血、牙痛等症狀，中醫就認爲是“上火”。

"Flush-inducing" food sounds to me more like food that would cause flushing (diarrhea).
Shamejudge, you're too funny!
I'm just gonna throw this word out there and see what you guys think---
“ flush”
(flash+gush/blush)
So when talking about some food “上火,”maybe we can say it's "flush-inducing"?
I know it's not perfect. Just a thought.
我想大家可能搞不懂版主的原意，版主應該是問烤箱使用上的所謂上火和下火吧！
一般大型烤箱都有兩個熱源，一個在烤箱上方一個在下方，所以中文通稱上火及下火，照講英文應該是 Upper/Top Burner 或 Lower/Bottom Burner 才有道理，但是美國的烤箱卻是只有 Broil 和Bake 的標示，其中的道理：
Bake是用烤箱的下火高溫烤熟食物，烤之前要預熱烤箱到應有的溫度，再把食材放進去；蛋糕要用 Bake。
Broil是用烤箱的上火幅射的紅外線烤熟食物；牛排, 海鮮等適合用Broil。
好問題！只不過版主最好註明要問「發飆」，還是要問中醫裏的「上火」，才不會讓眾多熱心答題者有瞎子摸象的疑惑。

我猜她是問"火氣大"
我也一直找不到簡單的方式來翻譯這個詞,
每次想跟男友解釋食物的涼性, 熱性都要費好大工夫.
請高手來想想吧.
I'm bursted.
this is it!
您好,
上火 get angry
ex:
他上火了 He is getting angry
以上說明希望有幫助到您

因為火氣大,不是會長面皰,口瘡嗎?也算是發炎的一種吧.所以延伸一下,不知上火能不能用inflammation來解釋呢?
另外英文版的中醫書籍,若是提到肝火,則直翻成Liver Heat, Liver Fire. 心火則是heart heat,其他臟器以此類推.而通常我們說的食物上火,如口瘡,嘴破,很多都是由胃火所引起,所以不知用胃火=
Stomach Heat,Stomach Fire能不能通呢?
參考一下而已.我也不知正確答案該怎麼說啦.
