@Zoffiel I didn't know it helped with the gut, only arthritic conditions. Last year I struggled with IBS for nearly 9 months and TMI having to wear Depends out - at 52 - as was getting no warning. After taking turmeric for about a month my knee pain was reduced and the IBS just stopped! I haven't had it since. I was pretty amazed as last year was dreadful ... I hope to God it doesn't come back with chemo if I have to stop the turmeric. ☹
