Turmeric contains several active alkaloids. Hence, people with the following conditions should avoid it or use it with caution.

GALLBLADDER PROBLEMS

Turmeric can worsen gallbladder problems because of its ability to increase bile secretion. People should avoid using turmeric supplements if they have gallstones or bile duct obstruction.

BLEEDING DISORDERS

Turmeric slows blood clotting leading to an increased risk of bruising and bleeding in people with bleeding disorders. This is especially important in those who take injectable blood thinners.

DIABETES

Curcumin, a chemical present in turmeric, might reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Hence, doctors advise people with diabetes to be cautious because curcumin might drastically reduce the blood sugar level.

GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISORDER (GERD)

Turmeric can worsen stomach problems such as GERD. People with GERD should monitor for exacerbation of symptoms while having turmeric.

INFERTILITY

Turmeric may cause infertility in men by

  • Lowering their testosterone levels.
  • Decreasing sperm movement.
  • Hence, men trying to have a baby should use turmeric cautiously.

IRON DEFICIENCY

High amounts of turmeric may interfere with iron absorption in the body. Therefore, people with iron deficiency should use turmeric cautiously.

LIVER DISEASE

There is some concern that turmeric might damage the liver, especially in people with liver disease. Do not use turmeric supplements if you have liver problems.

SURGERY

Turmeric should be stopped two weeks before a scheduled surgery because of the risk of bleeding during and after surgery. Turmeric results in delaying the formation of blood clots.

HORMONE - SENSITIVE CONDITIONS

(breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis or uterine fibroids)

Curcumin in turmeric may act like the hormone estrogen. Although there are some studies that support using turmeric in hormone-sensitive conditions, there are other studies that oppose it. Until there is solid evidence, it is better to use turmeric cautiously if you have any hormone-sensitive issues.

PREGNANCY

Turmeric is a uterine stimulant and may induce the menstrual cycle in pregnant women. Thus, pregnant women should avoid taking turmeric supplements.

HEART ARRHYTHMIA

There is a report of a man who consumed 1,500 grams turmeric in a day and succumbed to an abnormal heart rhythm.
