Did I take too much turmeric?

Hi

I was taking about 2 teaspoons of turmeric whilst recovering from viral arthritis. I mixed the turmeric powder with olive oil and black pepper. I mostly took in morning and evening, sometimes on empty stomach but always with some water. I had this dose for about 3 weeks.

Can this dose cause gut irritation or ulcers? Was it too high of a dose? I now have gastritis (which I've never had before) and wondering whether turmeric irritated my gut.

Would be great to hear your thoughts.
