Welcome to our Mayo Clinic connect group! I was a little reluctant to start any turmeric dosage because I have celiac and diabetes type two. I take metformin which makes my digestive system kind of cranky sometimes. The pharmacist attached to my primary care practice sat down with all my medication’s and looked for any interaction that would cause me trouble. Finding none, I started out with 1000 mg a day. The first few days I had some Gastro issues but my system evidently decided not to fight this with much bigger and within three or four days I was having no side effects from the thousand milligrams. I have stayed with that because I got good results when I went for my semi annual bloodwork six months ago. I also read with interest the experience of other members in this group who have also had success with turmeric. I’ve added a picture of what it is that I am taking. This has worked very well for me.
You might have your pharmacist or physician’s nurse take a look at any medications that you’re taking now to see if there might be a negative interaction with any of them and the turmeric just to be safe.
I’m so glad you found this forum and I hope that you will contribute with your experience because it’s so benefits other members. And I hope that you find the information helpful. Will you let us know how your MGUS journey is going?
