A member asked:
I take 240mg ginkgo biloba every day. is it possible that i have diarrhea because i take too much ginkgo?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's possible: It is possible Ginkgo Biloba may cause upset stomach including diarrhea or constipation. Other possibilities include bacteria, viruses, and allergies. If this persists longer than two days, there is severe pain, bloody stools, a fever of 102*F or more or you are dehydrated I suggest you go to a clinic for an exam immediately. I wish you the best with your health!
