Gastrointestinal Side Effects. Using turmeric in your cooking is considered safe and unlikely to cause side effects. Taking large doses of the spice or of supplements can result in gastrointestinal side effects. The most common gastrointestinal side effects are stomachache, gas, nausea and indigestion. Talk to your doctor and reduce the amount of turmeric you're taking if you experience any of these side effects.
Your stomach is an acidic environment with a low pH of between 1 and 3. Parietal cells in the wall of the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl). If your esophageal sphincter; basically the lid to your stomach; isnât closed properly, HCl will creep into your esophagus resulting in heartburn.
If the lining of the stomach is examined with a hand lens, one can see that it is covered with numerous small holes. These are the openings of gastric pits which extend into the mucosa as straight and branched tubules, forming gastric glands. Types of Secretory Epithelial Cells.1  Mucous cells: secrete an alkaline mucus that protects the epithelium against shear stress and acid. 2  Parietal cells: secrete hydrochloric acid! 3  Chief cells: secrete pepsin, a proteolytic enzyme. 4  G cells: secrete the hormone gastrin.here are differences in the distribution of these cell types among regions of the stomach-for example, parietal cells are abundant in the glands of the body, but virtually absent in pyloric glands.
