Well so i thought i'd try taking a teaspoon of blackseed oil daily to see if it helps boost my immunity for the winter season (now winter in australia) and i happened to start taking it at the start of my period. I started to get really bad cramps (middle-lower right sided) but honestly thought they were period cramps. By day 6 the period was finished and i still had the cramps and now some weird loose Bms!!! Thats when it hit me that something was upsetting my colon and i stopped the blackseed (aka black cumin seed) oil.
Now it's been a month since i stopped it and still im struggling with lower right cramps and having urgency in the mornings, also some middle abdomen cramps.

Im using probiotics now on third different one but it seems that after starting any probiotic after 3 days the positive effect wears off and i start to cramp again.
Anybody knows what the B seed oil could have done to my colon?
Am i flaring?
Rectal mesalamines make me bleed so cant use those. I have steroid supps but i feel like the cramping is higher than the suppository area.

Anything that can help soothe the my colon before i resort to oral steroids?

I doubt its the blackseed oil (black cumin oil). I've used it for years and its actually helped calm my colon when having diarrhea. It's known to have anti-inflammatory properties and has been studied for various other things.

I hope you were taking cold-pressed black seed oil and not the one from Hemani which solvent processed with hexane and blended with a carrier oil. There are other good brands out there which are cold-pressed and have excellent quality.

See this article in Natural News: www.naturalnews.com/038644_black_cumin_oil_immune_system_NK_cells.html

Hope this helps!

Maybe just stop taking or eating most things to reset your colon! Bland diet for a bit and meds only. Then add back in other stuff but not blk cumin?

Ive stopped it since a month ago. But still im having some cramping and urgency in the am. I used organic cold pressed blackseed oil. So the best basically.
I know it was the oil because it started at the same time as the oil. Before that i had been well since august last year, so like what are the odds it was a coincidence?

And yes ive read that it helps calm the colon and is an antiinflammatory. Which is why im perplexed!
However, fish oil is also an anti inflammatory and when i tried it (high quality brand) it gave me cramping and D. But the effect was more noticable than Blackseed oil.

I can tolerate other fats just fine, so it's not a fat intoelrance issue. I think it was something in the blackseed oil that irritated me.

Maybe it was a bad batch, dated? I ate some frozen kifer tonight and I usually don't tolerate probiotics so I am hoping for no issues, I have really curbed processes foods and sugar! I still eat it, but in small amints

Hi, some black seed is mixed with castor oil.

I used ground seeds mixed in honey. I had loose motions and cramps for 5-6 weeks. I kept on going and my symptoms dissapeared.

Use high fibre, warm water, mint tea, and change to ground seeds in honey. Less agitating than oil which is very strong.
