I decided to take turmeric due to the many benefits I'd heard (I have some cystic Acne and I know that turmeric helps to detox liver). I took 1500mg for about 5 days - had a little nausea, just a bit of loose stools, but was sleeping fabulously. Then one day, out of the blue my back when out. I literally just squatted down gently and when I got up I started to notice my back felt like it was swelling. Within the next hour I ended up with a major muscle spasm and was completely twisted and hunched over! Does anyone know if this could be related to the turmeric? I stopped taking it that very day because my chiropractor (who I rushed to see) tested me for it and said I should stay away from it for some reason.
