Hello @luserm1 – Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are glad you found us. Connect is a good place to share your health concerns, ask questions and learn what others are doing for similar health concerns. I have no medical training or background but I do have an autoimmune disease – polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). I take turmeric supplements to help with the inflammation and think it helps some. When I’m trying to find as much out as I can about a supplement, drug or treatment I will use Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) which is great for finding research information. I did a search on your question – Is it beneficial to use turmeric for cirrhosis caused by autoimmune hepatitis? and it returned quite a few links that may be of interest to you.

Can you share a little information about yourself and what you are doing for treatment now? It might be helpful for other Connect members with similar health concerns.

I am waiting to see my doctor. Have had blood tests. I have an enlarged liver. Fatty liver enlarged from the previous Ultrasound. I will update as results come in and see my doctor again.

@lexonpark, Thank you for sharing a little more of your diagnosis. While we wait for other members who have experienced Autoimmune Hepatitis to share their experience with you, there are several other discussions you may find helpful.

Can I ask what your main worry is?
@rosemarya
@444, I am a liver and kidney transplant recipient. I was once on prednisone and imuran when my GI thought I had AIH. Are you experiencing any symptoms?
Keeping a food journal sounds like a good thing. It could prove helpful at your next appointmtnet with the liver specialist. If I might offer a suggestion- if you are experiencing symptoms, note them, too.
Please consult with the liver specialist before you introduce any over the counter meds or supplements to your diet.
