Hi guys🤗 ok my RA Dr said taking Turmeric and a probioctic will help with inflammation and tummy problems, I take them and it does help ...anyone else take them, I'm really trying to find a more natural way to deal with this ra than just taking medication

I am of Indian/Pakistani heritage and tumeric has always been used in our cooking and for skin care. My Mum was very knowledgeable about the use and benefits of herbs and spices. She would make golden milk with milk, tumeric and honey which helped with sleep. For any ailment, if we said we were going to the pharmacy, she would say "my kitchen is a pharmacy". She did not dismiss medication but always tried natural remedies first. Many of them worked. For RA she advised me to continue with tumeric, eat more ginger and take black seed oil (from nigella seeds). These help.

Yes I also take turmeric and a probiotic. Tumeric must have pepper in it to work

I cook with turmeric powder add it to eggs , beans whatever I’m cooking .
I juice the whole fresh turmeric, ginger root , lemon and store the juice in refrigerator every morning I drink a glass of water as soon as I wake up on a empty stomach then I drink the juice adding black pepper.
No Gluten products have helped me!

I don't take probiotics per se by I eat kimchee, sauerkraut, yogurt or other fermented food at least daily. An yes, I take tumeric. Can't tell whether or not they help as I'm on MTX and infliximab and they likely are doing the heaving lifting when it comes to relief from RA. I'm convinced that fermented foods have health benefits. I also eat whole grains daily🤍💛.

The turmeric, vitamin D, and the probiotic really helped me. My RA Doctor told me to take the turmeric and it has really helped...
