User Reviews for turmeric

Took this for 2 months. Caused extreme diarrhea, hot flashes, anxiety. Stopped taking it and no more diarrhea. Won’t touch it ever again. Also learned it interferes with my hormone therapy.

I am a believer in Tumeric. Started taking over a year ago and am mobile, walking daily. Before use, I could barely make the block without hip pain! I get my tumeric from Wakaya.

I have been drinking carrot juice with turmeric and ginger also take garlic pills I was unaware turmeric and ginger are blood thinners small cut index 2 days ago I bled for 24 hrs not excessive was very concerned.

I will say it help with my arthritic pain but I was dizzy, nauseated, and had acid reflux, for the 2 weeks I took this supplement. I bought my from Stonehedge Health. I was hoping the side effects would subside but they did not until I stop taking supplement. Be careful with this supplement.

I have been using turmeric for more than 8 years. This magical plant has saved my life for many reasons. I have been diagnosed with anal fistula, which is a tiny tunnel that forms around the anus between the end of the bowel and the skin (where poo leaves the body). They are usually caused by an infection near the anus, which results in a collection of pus (abscess) in the adjacent tissue. When pus drains, it can leave behind a tiny canal. Most people who used to eat a lot of meat may get this disease. In my opinion, the risk factor for this disease is chronic constipation (lack of fiber in diet). All of my close friends and family members urge me to go for surgery, which I think is not a good option. Because people I know who had the same problem went for surgery but after some months or year the abscess occurs again, which means no success. Finally, I started to drink half tbsp (3 grams) of pure turmeric powder diluted in 1 glass full cream warm milk with a pinch of black paper 40 minutes before bed. In the first week, I started experiencing improvement. Within one month of use, the signs and symptoms disappeared completely. Since then, I have been using this magical drink 7 days a month, and it helps me. Even I don’t get cold while I’m using it. I forgot to mention that I am also lactose intolerant. The reason I am using full cream milk and black pepper is that they can help with the absorption. Most of the times I experience upset stomach after drinking it, but I am ok with it.

Gives me an upset stomach, nausea and fatigue

I took one for irritation of my shoulders inflammation. Woke up nauseous vomited, diarrhea chills. Stomach won’t stop grumbling

I started taking this because I was in so much pain and could barely walk at times. Not sure if it is arthritis or fibromyalgia or something else. The results for me are amazing! I am pretty much pain free. Not sure if it is a placebo effect or not. If I stop taking it, the pain comes back within a week. I take 1 capsule per day. My bottle lists the following amounts per 2 capsules: Organic Turmeric Roof 1,100 mg, Organic Turmeric Root Extract (95% Curcuminoids) 250 mg, Ginger Roof 140 mg, black pepper fruit extract 10mg.Read More Read Less

I started taking turmeric powder in capsules for.general anti-inflammatory and possible anti-cancer treatment. I read that it might help yoir body fight cancer cells. However, after taking it for a few months I developed an allergic reaction to it. My entire abdomen broke out in hives. I stopped taking it. Now, anytime I eat anything with turmeric - even small amounts used as a natural food coloring - I get hives somewhere on my body, suchas the face or fingers. I recommend caution when taking this or ginger.Read More Read Less

i bought schwartz turmeric curcumin with bioperine for my knees they were always sore and i read that turmeric helped which it did.but i have a bad gall bladder and the turmeric gave me a nagging pain in the pit of my stomach.in some studies claim it helps with gall bladder symptoms and some say it contracts the bladder to cause some pain.the pain was not intense but it was there.also i stated to take a whole food vitamin that had turmeric and it gave me that same pain.

juice turmeric and drink raw in tea in the morning, very effective

I suspect viridian curcumin complex has caused me both stomach issues and muscle pain in my legs.

Recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease and a lifetime of stomach pain and intermittent ulceration of my mouth entire digestive tract. I refused the oral and IV biologics and instead make 1 gram Curcumin capsules from pure organic Curcumin 95% powder. There are two ways to take Curcumin. If you take it with 100 mg Black Pepper it enhances the absorption across the intestine by about 2,000 times! This takes care of body aches, arthritis, and muscle pain. If you take it without the pepper, pure Curcumin 1 Gram capsules, it is not absorbed and coats the intestines with a thick, orange stain. I am 100% convinced that this internal poultice is curative of ulcers. It works within hours and decreases pain (I am convinced) by actually decreasing the inflammation associated with the ulcers. Or possibly by protecting your digestive tract from your immune system?? Or perhaps both. I take other supplements for my gout (Tart Cherry Powder and Celery Seed Powder) and had to d/c the allopurinol because my uric acid dropped to low!).Read More Read Less

I clean houses and as a senior (65 ), began to experience increasing knee pain going up/down stairs, especially down. I took turmeric w/bioperine and pain gradually began to disappear. After about 3 months, I could easily run up/down stairs again. Occasionally, experience minor discomfort (not pain) going down stairs, especially if moving fast and full weight on leg. Still taking turmeric daily. Every few months, I stop for 1-2 weeks.

The problem I had was with the blood thinning aspect. My gums started bleeding and I bruised very easily. I was taking a recommended dosage of 2,000 mg per day. Too much? It certainly did a great job for the joint swelling and pain. But, I like my teeth. Since I stopped taking it, the gums are not bleeding.

I used turmeric powder in milk. Sweetened a bit by adding some sugar.

I had very vivid nightmares where I caught myself talking two hours after this product. I am on other various medications and literally jumped out of bed because my legs felt restless and I am very jittery. Face feels flush.
