I have been taking turmeric with pepper supplements for over a year. Although I don't go to Mayo, my transplant team said that it was fine for me (double lung transplant recipient). I have had no adverse effects and my Tach levels have been good. In fact they reduced my dosage since I have been taking the turmeric.

Hi @chickytina 😊
It's great to hear from you!
Very interesting info regarding your turmeric supplement.
What is your current Tacrolimis blood level target? Did they lower your dosage or lower your target range recently?
(I am thinking if they lowered your TAC dosage, maybe the turmeric is elevating the TAC just a little?).
Anyway, I am happy to hear that all is going well!

I am a whole liver transplant so maybe the rules apply for liver transplant and not lung.
