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.

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

Not at all. The 800 mg ibuprofen at bedtime was likely the primary culprit. The ibuprofen was used to keep my rheumatoid arthritis in check. I just made of point of removing all the blood thinners from my daily intake to let the ulcer heal. I need to check my blood work before resuming the turmeric. The loss of my duodenum to the Whipple has made my digestive processes much less efficient. It is hard to get enough iron, so I'm perpetually anemic.

I think my daily turmeric offered a net benefit and perhaps delayed the severity of other problems.
