I have Sjogren's and Celiac and I was using turmeric with bioprine for awhile as I was told it was good for autoimmune diseases. I thought it was affecting my bowels: diarrhea,etc. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe I should to back to it to prove one way or another.

things change every day, chemo can have a different effect on anyone, so hang in there, your doctor should be able to tell you if there is a association there?? Lacy
I'm wondering if any of you have tried the turmeric root sold at Sprouts. I've been eating a piece of root every day but now am curious if it's unsafe. Am I supposed to be boiling it for tea? Do you know if it's safe to eat raw, out of the container?

@222nicki Welcome to connect Turmeric is an old spice lots if people add it to there food so I've never eaten it but use it as tea or in Golden milk people from India eat it all the time sprenkle on food If it doesn't bother you then I say won't hurt
I have PMR. Always had a "good" diet, mostly fruit and vegetables, organic and heirloom, very. very little meat., no sugar. I have been using powdered turmeric when I cook, as it is an aid for inflammatory condition. Perhaps it has helped me to taper quickly on the dreaded Prednisone. Of course we are all different, but I will continue to take it along with other ant-inflammatory herbs/spices
Hi @noosat1...how did you ever get off sugar? I’m finding it one of the most difficult things to do. Have had PMR since last Oct. have you had any falls? I’ve just had my third one and the bruises are piling up!! Also, has anyone ever heard of Beau’s lines? I’m getting lines on my nails which go across the nail rather than up and down....
Getting off sugar for me was not hard as I prefer the taste of "savory." Although occasionally want a "sweet', then I eat a piece of dark chocolate, at least 70+ percent pure cocoa, mix a can, no syrup, if I don't have fresh, of unsweetened pineapple with blueberries, or even a sugarless cookie.

Not to address the disease, but to try to relieve symptoms. I am not sure that it is the effect of turmeric or my disease running its course, but since taking turmeric every day I have relief from pain. I don't believe I can have ill effects from the spice, so I will continue to use. I used it in lesser amounts even before being diagnosed with PMR
I was part of an NIH published study at UCSF many years ago. The study is published. I now have a flair of my Lichen Planus of mouth, nails, and other areas. I have been taking 8000 mg total with BioPerine of Tumeric taken with meals three times a day since March. It is a challenge but worth it to help avoid Prednisone systemically. I still require some prednisone topically but hope to avoid the problems of systemic prednisone.

Hi.. I started using it about 2 months ago. So far I have not noticed a lot of difference. Darlia
