Intolerance to turneric

We realised a couple of years ago that my husband is intolerant to turmeric. I am now finding that it is appearing in more and more foods. Of course he avoids most curries but it is now in many stock cubes and often even the batter on fish and chips. I have to peer at the small print on any food packets and even then some ingredients lists merely say 'spices'. Does anyone else experience this or have any advice?

    Someone is allergic or intolerant to almost everything! But I haven't run across anyone intolerant of turmeric before.

    What are his symptoms?

      Within a few hours he gets stomach cramps, then explosive diarrhoea and sometimes vomiting.
