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

        I haven't.

No..I take it to help digestion.

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.

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!
