Please ask her to stop taking turmeric often. I couldn't find the source, but I remember a liver specialist on twitter, calling out on such practice. He explained how he had patients with liver failure specifically due to regular turmeric intake, sold as natural medicine.

Please inform this to her.

Doctors aren't necessarily scientists. Anecdotal evidence isn't as strong as randomized controlled trials to establish causation. It could have been the high fat content of many recipes that call for turmeric.
