For those of you who take a turmeric supplement, have you experienced any, ahem, digestive difficulties ? TIA.

I take a half of teaspoon of organic ground turmeric everyday with no digestive problems.

No issues.

But please be advised that for Turmeric to be fully effective, you need to use it with fresh ground pepper.

No...I use the fresh (about a thumb length) in the juicer with fruits/veggies. I also have the capsules.

No. I take standardized turmeric w/ pepper, one 500mg cap with food three times daily. Recommended dosage per day is 1500mg for it to be effective. Do not take it all at once because you may experience GI problems.

I recently (less than a month) started taking a Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, & Turmeric supplement. I am not having any problems. It seems to be helping a bit with my chronic knee pain (old 'war injury') - I think.

I take Turmeric 400 Curcumin from Andrew Lessman and I do sometimes have a burping problem. It is not serious though.

@QVCkitty1

I take Swanson 720mg caps 2/day since Dec 2015.

These have no black pepper in them, so I'm sure they are not as effective, but I'm pleased with the result.

One time when we were out of town I ordered a different brand (Naturewise) containing black pepper.

It upset my stomach so for now, I will stay with the plainest. Maybe I will "graduate" some time in the future!

Thanks, I take turmeric with pepper and ginger 1500 mg. I have taken them for about a month, but recently I've experienced some diarrhea. I googled side effects and this can be one of them. I just wondered if it was usual.

Hubby took the one with black pepper & it made his stomach hurt at first. It's better now & I think he still takes it.

I use about a 1/4 tsp of fresh grated turmeric and 1/2 tsp of fresh grated ginger mixed in hot water. Let it seep a couple minutes and drink each morning.

I started taking minimum dose (450mg) once daily, a month or so ago, as I have read that it is great as an anti-inflammatory, not sure I have noticed any joint improvement, BUT have noticed much more regularity..which is always a good side effect!

Will probably keep taking it for awhile..

The most recommended dose for optimal anti-inflammatory benefits is 1500mg per day, divided into two or three doses with food. You may not be experiencing any improvement with only 450mg. @Evie2004

@QVCkitty1, yes I did! I tried taking it once but ouch ... my poor stomach could not tolerate it. I have no negative reaction to tumeric that's added to foods, but taking it in high-dose capsule form is not good for my gut.
