Is Turmeric Affecting My Digestive System?

I've now been drinking turmeric 3 times daily for 4 weeks now and it is continuing to control the folliculitis on my scalp and for that I'm very glad. But I'm not sure if the turmeric is now causing a bit of abdominal pains which started after dinner yesterday, or it could just be a small bout of food poisoning. My suspicions point to the turmeric because I've noticed it has softened my stool since I begun taking it, almost like a mild laxative particularly over the past 2 weeks.

So today I will reduce drinking turmeric to 2 times daily to see if that is sufficient to control the folliculitis and to reduce its impact to my digestive system.

Also, thought I might provide an update that my facial skin and scalp have returned to its former greasiness prior to taking Roaccutane.
