Turmeric - Which is the best absorbed?

I don't know much about it, but I have heard it's very hard to get the benefits of it thru supplementation- you need to eat tons of curry powder/cumin a day! Hope someone else chimes in.

I have always been a big believer in "natural" remedies for many things, and I had tried many different things for my UC over the years, turmeric/curcumin pills just didnt help me, but I had read so many articles on curcumin being used for cancer and Alzhiemers prevention among many other diseases. I found the Haldi drinks, and tried them initially because of the curcumin and organic apple cider vinegar. Finding out later that it is a more absorbable form of curcumin. (that is what the company says). I now drink a bottle every day, but when I was flaring I was doing a couple a day. For me, and remember that we are all different, its been a life saver(literally). I get it now online because its cheaper than at whole foods where I found it before. haldi4health.com, good luck

Hey James,


What anti yeast regiment did you start? What did it consist of? I took an organix test and it showed no yeast, however it showed clostridial species, a high number. My doc doesn't know how to go about it. I still do believe i have a yeast issue. I really dont know what to make of everything. I have seb derm all over my scalp and face, which all started when the Ulcerative proctitis started.

Which candida test did you do?


Currently im taking: Lialda, canasa, Nystatin swish and swallow, omega 3, vit D, HCL before meals (just started this)


Thanks James

I know there are 150 different species, so I'm not sure if it's c-diff, but that is the most common. My doc isn't sure and doesn't know of a way to test to find the exact one. I went on Flagyl for 14 days and it was awful and didn't make a difference.

Im gonna write a new post to see if any meds worked for anyone else on healing well????


THanks

Hey PSA.Delhi,

                   How do you go about growing turmeric?  Are curry and turmeric the same, or is turmeric in curry?  I know curry has a bad smell/taste, from what I've heard. 

I would rather get the real deal instead of supplementing with turmeric.  Can I buy turmeric somewhere for the time being until I grow it, which I prefer more, especially b/c it's probably cheaper too!

Is turmeric a leaf, weed,...etc?  I know its a spice, but I couldn't find any info on it online.  I recently bought the vita-mix and it blends anything, no matter what, so it turmeric is a weed or leaf, that would be awesome!!!!  The vita-mix is expensive but incredible.  I make the best green smoothies!!!

Any info on this PSA would be great and I definitely appreciate it too!  I'll give you my email also, if its easier to talk that way!

Dear Freakzilla

My apologies that I missed out your message and could not reply earlier. Well there are lots of Indian stores in the US and UK selling fresh grown turmerric. Curry leaves are different then turmeric. Turmeric is like Ginger/Garlic or potato i.e., it grows under the soil. If you could buy fresh turmeric from some store, you may sow the same in your flower pot and it would grow over a period of 15 to 20 days and over period of time would give you lots just like potato.  I have posted a lot of information about the stores in the US where you can find this. I would check and send the same to you. It is on this forum only.

It would be a pleasure to provide you all assistance on this issue and on any other issues which you have regarding natural cure. You would be able to get fresh turmeric in Indian stores who are selling south Indian products/spices etc. There are lots in Boston.

You have to peel the turmeric and chop it into small pieces. If you want to preserve it, you may put it in vinegar (natural would be the best otherwise synthetic vinegar would also serve the purpose). Eat it empty stomach in the morning. It would heal your entire digestive system and take care of acidity, ulcers, bleeding, cramps, skin rashes, blood disorders, etc.

I will send you more information later on.

Take care and good health to you.

hey i just ate fresh turmeric for the first time - PSA Delhi had advised me earlier - i bought it from indian store (many small thin roots (5-6cm long) around 20 of them for $1.79) , it's just like ginger - and of orange color when u peel it. it leaves yellow color on your hand - which washes off with soap - not a problem
it's got a taste which i cant describe - hmm -- it's not good not that bad - neither sweet nor salty - but after eating it i feel my tongue little swollen(means its strong) & i do feel gud about eating it ...
i m now looking for a pot to grow it

hi... curry does have turmeric but it also has a lot of spices which might not be good for UC... i m not really sure! but curry does have spices which i avoid

Hey PSA, are there any big name store's that I can buy turmeric from?

Hey PSA ! i was just having one/two small root early morning which is 1-1.5 cm thick and hardly 5- 6cm long. U have written 8-10 thick pieces ? pls let me know the exact amount required...thanks a lot

Freakzilla154L:
which part are u in. Just google "indian grocery store" in your area.... look for the ones which keep vegetables...rather even "asian grocery store" should work... i found mine at asian grocery store which has lots & lots vegetables + indian, chinese, korean, sri lankan stuff - all pulses extra. This turmeric was kept in one corner in small plastic boxes along with sweet basil, etc green vegetables. Just keep reading above where the prices r mentioned and u will find turmeric written - if u ask any guy at store ask for "fresh turmeric" or " fresh haldi".

Subdued :
i cannot tolerate even little spices...along with colon even my eyes start watering. I would still suggest to keep spices away, atleast till u r not in complete remission because the irritated colon has a tough time with spices. I add turmeric powder in all my soups! - we can get plain turmeric powder at any store - Walmart, Frys, Sprouts Farmers market etc..i have seen it at a couple of places

Hi folks

By talking about such interesting recipies you are making me jealous, as I can't eat them. Ha Ha Ha
Well Saposs to answer your concern, you can have 5 to 6 pieces of 1-1.5 cm thickness and about 2 -3 cm in length. Simply put you can peel off one turmeric root of standard thickness and have it any number of times in a day. If you don't like the taste (which I am sure you would start liking within two days), you can have it with your sandwich or burger or any other eatables, but the best effect comes when its taken empty stomach so that it reaches the entire digestive system and applies a coating on the walls (stomach-intestines and not house walls) till the end. It cleanses the entire system and acts as an antiseptic and antibiotic on the mucuous forming ulcers and leaking intestinal walls.
Freaky which part of the world you stay so that I can find the stores for you. Saposs has been kind enough to provide you enough inputs on availability in the US. I would check my postings as I had given details about several stores in the US. Till my next post stay fit, cheerful always.
