Cardamom is generally well tolerated, a normal dose is one to two grams per day. In overdose some side effects such as skin irritation and stomach pain may occur. Because cardamom causes the gallbladder to contract, mild stomach pain can be experienced and sometimes gallstones can form. Because the body cannot absorb a large amount of cardamom, a precipitate can form in the gallbladder, causing gallstones to form. Those who already suffer from gallstones should not take cardamom.
