    I'm surprised people are telling you that it will cause irritation as Turmeric is a well known anti inflammatory. Will it cure? to be honest I doubt it, but if it is effective at stopping the gas problem then I guess that means it's better than nothing. A lot of people take turmeric and curcumin (an ingredient of turmeric) as a general health supplement so it is a tried and tested supplement. Someone earlier (perhaps on another forum) mentioned green tea as working really well for her. I haven't personally tried it because I'm not too keen on all the fluoride that comes with green tea but if fluoride doesn't scare you you can always give it a go. I think there might be a link between polyphenols and SRB (the bacteria causing our problems) and I know that green tea has a particularly high polyphenol content. I say 'I think' because I think I remember reading about the link but can't find anything at the moment. It would probably be easier just to try some grean tea and see if that also helps.

      I am no longer dependent on the turmeric after making just two minor alterations to my daily routine. I have cut out the high sulphur foods which was easy when I found a coprehensive list of low sulphur foods. Apparently SRBs derive their energy from Sulphur.  And the other thing I have done is to skip breakfast and have larger meals with bigger gaps in between. I have a large meal at around midday, another one at 4ish and then my final one at around 10:00pm. In other words I have cut out the snacking while maintaining the same input of calories. This may effect your mood as the bacteria have a direct hotline to our brains via the vagus nerve but as far as I am concerned, I don't care too much for their happiness as they have made enough problems for me as it is. I hope this helps for you too smile

    I chose to soothe my gastritis with turmeric as well. I didn't take any of my prescription meds because of the possible side effects. I have also Bern taking mastic gum once a day and I almost feel like my normal self. I'm definitely sticking to the acid reflux diet for a while longer just to be safe.

      I see you used mastic gum for your gastritis. Did it irritate your stomach? I kind turmeric did you use. Do it come in a bottle?

    The prescription of these meds to me feels like a way to get u out of Drs surgery for a couple of months! Don't come back again until you have finished them. Ahh that's rid of her for another 2 months!
