I must be one of the few for which a tumeric supplement is harmful.
I took the supplement for about a week and then started to develop extreme headaches, stomach and intestinal pain, and explosive .. and I do not use the term "explosive" lightly .. diarrhea.

Hello, FRiend. Quite possibly what you describe may have been a
herxheimer reaction. That is, it may not have been the tumeric itself causing the symptoms. Tumeric has antimicrobial properties. You may have experienced a die-off of harmful fungi, bacteria, protozoa or viruses polluting your system and causing the symptoms. I had a similar reaction to Lugol's Iodide, but kept at it and the symptoms dissipated in about four week's time, for what it is worth. Best wishes!
