Turmeric capsules

I want to say that I think this stuff really did help my arthritis in my knee. I have been taking this, with glucosamine ,at my Drs. suggestion.

That is the good news . The bad news is I quit taking this. I have felt ill for 2 weeks, and thought it was my Thyroid meds that were doing it. I just felt so bad with a headache, and upset stomach. I wish I could take this, but it just doesn't work with my digestive system.

For those of you that want to try it, I would recommend you take it with food.

My husband is going to give it a try, to see if it will work for him

Have you tried seasoning your food with Tumeric? The seasoning is suppose to work better than the capsules from what I've heard. I don't know if there is a recommended amount you are suppose to use daily. I recently bought a jar and roasted some cauliflower with oil, salt,pepper and tumeric and it was delicious. Hopefully I will have some relief from inflammation soon! I'm trying to incorporate it on a daily basis. At the very worst, I have a new spice to play with.

I also tried glucosamin and had pretty intense digestive problems. Perhaps it's not the tumeric capsules.

Open the capsule and sprinkle only about 1/3 - 1/2 of it on your food and mix it in well. That's what I do with my morning cereal. You can close the capsule back up so you don't waste it.

Taking a whole capsule causes me internal grief too - my esophogus and stomach feel like they are burning. So I go the partial route and I'm good. Give it a try.

Or, if you can find them, try turmeric TABLETS. I had no trouble with tablets. I used to buy them at CostCo but the company that makes them has also gone to capsules.

There were some other good alternatives suggested so I hope they work for you. The tablets should be available at nutrition companies that sell mail order vitamins.

If you think it is a digestive issue, have you tried probiotics? I ask this because I have a problem digesting some foods and the probiotics really help - and recently when I went through two bouts of dental surgery, the doctor put me on antibiotics. The first time, I had issues, but the second time when I took the probiotics, I had none of those issues.

Might be worth a try.

I did try probiotics and felt even worse. I'm calling my Dr today. I'm not sure now what is going on. It still could be my thyroid meds. I'm not sure

I know there were some people interesed in taking Turmeric, and I just wanted to let them know that I think it did help me

OK sorry to hear that. Hope you get some relief.

The upset stomach or digestive problems might stem from taking too much at once. It is recommended to take a 500mg cap with food three times daily.

I will see what my Dr has to say. I thought once I stopped the probiotics and turmeric I would be ok

Last night, after taking my thyroid, a few hrs later the symptoms all came back again. I have been on this hormone for 2 years with no problems at all. My hands and feet are sweaty, and that has never happened before, and I feel warm too

I just want to let posters know, I think turmeric did help me
