Thanks for the information. My neuropathy is from celiac disease; it has been at the same level as when I went gluten free 15 years ago. Turmeric is very poorly absorbed by the GI tract; bioavailable turmeric/curcumin includes piperine and/or lipids to increase absorption. I take about 5 gm/day of curcumin (FDA doesn't regulate supplements so hard to tell how much). I haven't noticed any side effects from the dosage, although my blood pressure has dropped slightly and the slope of my kappa curve has flattened (maybe related or not). https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsomega.2c07326

Thanks for the information. I always eat turmeric with black pepper and olive oil.

I knew that turmeric makes a difference in my kappa levels when I had a horrific rash and stopped eating turmeric for 3 weeks because I did not know the cause for the rash. My kappa levels increased by 50. When I started eating turmeric again, my kappa levels dropped by 50.

My sister has celiac so I have avoided gluten for 20 years. I did not know that neuropathy was a consequence of celiac.

Turmeric has been proven to reduce inflammation, and I have noticed that my joints are not as achy.

I am convinced that food is related to my lab results. Recently my hemoglobin dropped to 11.3. I read about how to raise hemoglobin in respected scientific websites. I learned that hemoglobin is produced more easily when calcium and protein are eaten at the same time. So I started drinking 1 cup of calcium-fortified oat milk when I ate protein. My hemoglobin returned to the normal range—12.3–very shortly.
