hello folks,

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried a turmeric enema for UC? I've tried taking the turmeric extract with no success, it is only by taking tons of it that I see some orange in my stool and a small change in my symptoms. I thought hey I might try it more concentrated in a form of an enema and see what happens (I somewhat got the idea from the Vitamin E enema).

Please let me know of your own experiences.

I don't know if it would be a great idea. It seems like it might irritate the area if put directly on it.

I've tried it for one night now, so far no irritation. I figured that it would be safe on the colon given that you can rub it on wounds.

Well, in that case, let us know what happens.

I once asked our GI at Sick Kids in Toronto about tumeric and she said that she has actually seen many more people come into the ER with "problems" from over using tumeric than those that it has helped. I have no idea what the "problems" were. I would be concerned about an enema.

Actually not, although I have done probiotic and FT syringes up the butt with absolutely fantastic results for FT and okay results for probiotics.

Hey @stupidcolon did you have any results with this?

Oh my, this thread is 6 years old! @stupidcolon hasn't logged into healingwell in 5 years...

Try it yourself if you are so inclined smile

Cheers!

Don't go shoving 6 grams of the stuff up there on your first night... if it chaps you up you'll want to find that out with a lesser amount! Go easy, but report back because I'm curious =)
