I had a serious gastric bleed a year ago. Immediately stopped the ibuprofen, turmeric, serrapeptase and nattokinase. A trans-oral endoscopy 3 months later found a healing duodenal ulcer. Another month passed and an ampullary cancer was found. In June, the healed duodenum was cut out as part of the Whipple procedure.

I haven't resumed my turmeric yet. Still lots of gut turmoil from the Whipple. The Qunol product sold at Costco has been my preferred source. 30 ml daily.

" turmeric, serrapeptase and nattokinase" Every one of these are blood thinners. Taken together I am not surprised you had problems!

Sorry you had to have the Whipple procedure. Hope you are doing better! ( Note that long term use of Ibuprofen can cause kidney problems.)

Are you in any way suggesting that the turmeric may have contributed to these problems?
