Anyone have any luck taking these two supplements? If so, just how much do you take? Right now I use Calcium with D (2 per day for osteoporosis), Multivitamin for women with Iron, Probiotic (2 per day), Fish oil capsule (1 per day), Flaxseed oil capsule (1 per day) ...all these plus my meds..ugh.

I think turmeric (curcumin) helped me a bit. Just be prepared for yellow/orange poo. I don't remember how much was in each pill but I took two three times a day. I tried boswellia but didn't notice much of a change, maybe I should've stuck to it longer. It definitely didn't hurt.

I've been taking turmeric and boswellia supplements for the past 1 1/2 weeks. I take two of each. I think the boswellia supplements make me a bit nauseous. They helped with getting me out of this mini-flare. I'll probably keep taking them for another few days just to make sure I stay in remission. I'll keep adding turmeric to my foods while in remission. I add about one capsule a day.

I was taking it when I started this most recent flare. So no, I don't think it helped!

I had some success with boswellia...I found the info on it originally in a natual healing book. In the book it did suggest that you take 1200mg / day. I took two 300mg in the morning with breakfast and the other two with dinner. :)
