Has anyone tried turmeric for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis? I've read that it reduces inflammation, heals the gut and has other benefits. Any success? Bad side effects?

Thanks!

    I have recently heard of this too I was told it's better to take it on food rather than as a supplement. I haven't any experience of side effects yet. Let me know how you get on.

    Hi! I've heard the exact same thing! It's also good for depression.Im going to give it a try myself,if you decide to take it make sure you take black peppercorns with it as they help the body absorb if.You can buy it in high strength capsules or you can make "Golden" milk,Worth A Try!

    Not sure how I missed this. I keepmturmeric around and take it frequently for immune flair ups and migraines. I find it to be extremely helpful. Like anything, you need a high enough dose.
