Hi. Can I eat the following without worrying that they may contradict my medication? Ginger, Tumeric, Cinammon, Scent leaves and spices generally Am on TLD. Thank you.
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Yes you can eat the following without risk of interaction.
When eaten as part of a normal diet, there is no interaction between TLD and the spices you have mentioned.
If you are taking these as supplements e.g., tablets. The dose of each of these spices/supplements can be high enough to interfere with your treatment.
If this is the case it would be recommended to take them at the opposite end of the day e.g., supplements in the morning and TLD in the evening.
But again, if these are only spices being added to food there is no interaction.
Josh.
