What Causes Loose Stools Post Intake Of Curcumin And BioPerine?
I JUST STARTED TAKING TURMERIC CURCUMIN 1000 MG, BIO PERINE 5 MG. THIS WOULD BE 2 CAPSULES IN ORDER TO BE 1000 MG. I HAVE ONLY DONE 2 DAYS. I HAVE VERY LOOSE STOOLS. IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A SENSITIVE SYSTEM WHERE SPICES ARE CONCERNED. COULD THIS HAVE TRIGGERED THIS? SHOULD I STOP TOTALLY OR CUT DOWN?

Hypotension (lowered blood pressure).
Bio Perine also can cause gastrointestinal upsets like nausea and diarrhea. So you may need to either reduce the dose of both preparations or stop using them. Thanks,
