I just started taking turmeric capsules last week, I take 2 300mg caps a day. It seems to be helping- greatly! But I never know if it's my meds or the supplements. I started the turmeric last Wednesday, & did a Humira shot on Thursday. So who's to say if it's one or the other? I suppose if things continue smoothly thru the next week & a half, 'til my next Humira dose, I can assume the turmeric is helping. Because I have had good results with Humira for about 7-10 days, then things go downhill until the next shot. I've also upped my probiotic intake the past month or so- eating an Activia yogurt almost daily & drinking lots of kefir, along with my usual probiotic supplement, Ultimate Flora Critical Care. Not sure what's going right, but something is! So I'll keep you posted- I'm just taking plain old turmeric, nothing added. Each capsule has 285mg curcumin. I still have urgency, but my stool is solid, no blood, very little mucous. Gas seems to have decreased, & when I pass it, it's just gas, no liquid grossness! Yay!
