Ginger - giving me tummy ache.

[Beach bum]

Does anyone else have trouble with ginger ?

I always understood it to be good for the tummy , even settling and anti inflammatory. But more and more I notice that after ginger I get a mild ache , even a slight burning in my stomach.

I used to enjoy lemon and ginger tea which I stopped , at the time not sure if it was the lemon or the ginger upsetting me or a combination.

I have always liked to liven up my juicing with a bit of ginger and I am currently on a juice detox, but I was positively kept awake last night with the burning and now I see I will have to give it up altogether

Are you using straight ginger shreds? I think it can be a little sharp when fresh but different as a tea powder that isn't straight from the garden so to speak. Not sure if I'm making sense.

Ginger in small amounts helps me but I also get irritated with fresh ginger or if there is too much. If it bothers you in any amount or form it may just not be right for you.
