I started taking turmeric three days ago. I mix a teaspoon of powdered turmeric into a glass of water and drink it. Once a day. Someone on another Crohn's forum said this helps his Crohn's.

Does anyone else take turmeric? I'd like to read your experiences.

P.S. Should I take it on an empty stomach?

I have took it sometimes the same way as you when i had a boil an found it made it better by the next day, if i dont take tumeric the boils i get take ages an ages to go on their own, so it seems to do something not sure it works for crohns but its healthy so keep taking it it wont hurt

I did and still do from time to time. Same method. Actually I mix a teaspoon of organic ginger powder and a tablespoon + of organic turmeric powder with about a shot glass amount of water and chug it down.

Can't really say if it helps or not thought. I would say nothing very noticeable since I have not taken it in a few weeks. But everyone is different in how their systems react to these things I guess. Can't hurt to try it though. You never know.

I took mine on an empty stomach with black pepper that I ground into an empty gel cap. I always followed with a spoonful of creamed honey cause it tastes awesome just after. I would say I kept at it for a month or so religiously. I was trying to get rid of a chest cold that I could not shake.

My husband takes tumeric (Dr. Best curcumin 1,000 mg) 6 or so per day. He has had multiple myeloma for 3 years plus another cancer and his numbers have stabilized. However it can cause diarrhea. As for Crohns, my son has it and had 70 holes on his colon and barely graduated from high school. A couple of years ago we found a Clinical trial at UC San Francisco and he had two fecal transplants in 6 months via colonoscopy to see if replacing the colon with healthy bacteria would work. It did. He said he felt the difference immediately. He watches his diet now. Drinks goats milk. No junk food.
