ok guys been taking 1 cap of DGL licorice , 1 cap of boswellia and turmeric at night for weeks now, i wanted to add fiber at night so i moved my pills with my first meal of the day, a few days ago severe stomach pain started i thought it was after eating eggs but now after 3 days of this, i think I'm convinced its the boswellia and or turmeric. its odd that i wouldn't get a stomach ache at night tho...i have had to take alkaseltzer and or pepto and lie down to make it go away, anyone else ever get this?

Stop them for a couple days and see if things improve?

i've read that turmeric is very likely to cause stomach pain. I'd switch to flaxseed to put down irritation

Other than stomach cramps, how has that combo been working for you? Since you're taking the natural route I'm going to plug qing dai. 3 weeks on it and I have zero symptoms. I'm convinced the stuff works wonders and definitely doesn't hurt to try.

it actually has done really well from what i understand , what i honestly think it is now is a stomach ulcer!

Both Turmeric and Boswellia have known gastrointestinal side effects, but not for everyone and not always significant. As UC-ers, and HealingWell frequenters we all know everyone reacts to things differently.

I take 4 caps turmeric and 4 caps boswellia daily without any issue. I can't say absolutely if they help dramatically, but I take them because my meds only get me so far, and they're not making me worse, so why not?

Hopefully you're able to get it all sorted out soon!!
