Yet it's nothing compared to your verbal diarrhoea and your oral flatulence.

I've noticed recently that whenever I include galangal in my
Thai curries, I suffer from severe diarrhoea & uncontrollable
flatulence for days afterwards.

Is this common? Does anyone else here experience this?

It should have the opposite effect.

Why is this OT, BTW?

I don't use it much ... but *no* problems when I do (I've nibbled bits
to test the flavour)

If it was a *common* allergy ... I'd probably have it :-(

?possibility yours is contaminated?

?Try a new supply?

?Leave it out and try ginger (supposed to be a similar flavour, but not
IMO)
