Although ginger is generally safe, some people may experience mild side effects — such as heartburn, diarrhea, gas, and abdominal pain — after consuming it.

Cut an inch off the ginger root, use a spoon to peel the brown skin off and nibble on it. You can also use a vegetable peeler to shred super thin slices of ginger and let them sit on your tongue before chewing them down for a less pungent experience.
Ginger stimulates the production of bile in your stomach. This helps with the digestion of food, but on an empty stomach when you have no solid food to break down, this bile can rest in the stomach which, again, can cause some digestive discomfort.
