Why to avoid it:
Ginger boosts bile production and stomach acid. For people with gallstones, this can trigger pain or gallbladder attacks; for those with ulcers, it can worsen irritation and burning.
Better alternatives:
Chamomile or licorice root tea – calm the stomach and protect the lining.
Bananas and oatmeal – neutralize stomach acid naturally.Aloe vera gel (food grade) – promotes digestive healing.
Final Advice
Ginger is powerful, but not always harmless.
If you take medication or have chronic conditions, it’s best to ask your doctor before using ginger supplements or teas regularly.
Choosing safer alternatives ensures you still get the health benefits — without the risks.
