I have a reaction to turmeric and stay away from it. Although it may be mildly anti-inflammatory for some people, it is high in oxalates which is bad for bones and bad for kidneys.

A lot of people recommend turmeric for various things based on what they read online, rather than on proper research. From a Healthline article:
"Although many studies have explored the medicinal properties of turmeric and its extract curcumin, there isn’t any research focused on acid reflux. Overall, there isn’t enough evidence to support the use of turmeric for any health condition."
and
"Although anecdotal evidence suggests that this natural remedy relieves acid reflux, there are few clinical trials to prove these claims.... Some people report that turmeric worsens their symptoms of acid reflux."

Information like this is why I ask real people for opinions. Thank you! Almost everyone I know takes melatonin and I drank a cup of melatonin tea for the first time a few days ago. I felt like I was back in the 70s again with an out of body experience. It was the weirdest thing ever! Things just don’t hit me the way they do others and turmeric scares me a little.
