OT: Galangal

I've noticed recently that whenever I include galangal in my
Thai curries, I suffer from severe diarrhoea & uncontrollable
flatulence for days afterwards.

Is this common? Does anyone else here experience this?

Why is this OT, BTW?

I don't use it much ... but *no* problems when I do (I've nibbled bits
to test the flavour)

If it was a *common* allergy ... I'd probably have it :-(

?possibility yours is contaminated?

        ?Try a new supply?

?Leave it out and try ginger (supposed to be a similar flavour, but not
IMO)

Because the poster was unable to resist the temptation to copy it to 
uk.food+drink.indian when it has fuck all to do with Indian food perhaps?
