Thanks @nineteen_gale‍  for all the good information. I will check  Google for turmeric for health information.  I’ve had to stop turmeric for now as it caused me so much pain and upset. I think it may be more useful to make my own turmeric gold paste. I’ll let you know how it goes. Your information is has been so valuable. I appreciate your time and care that you take in responding to me.  God bless and I hope that you are having a good period yourself.  Thank you 🙏 xx

@catwomanno.1‍ 

High Shirley

I am glad you found he information valuable. yes, it is indeed safer to take Turmeric powder made into a Golden paste or Turmeric milk than to take the supplements. i am taking both and i do not have any problems. Some people have had indigestion with the supplements, but they are short lived. Once your body gets used to it, the pain wares off. You do what ever is best for you. Do read the website.it is indeed full of valuable information. make sure that you use the black pepper and fats such as Extra Virgin Olive oil or coconut oil. I take the Olive oil. Turmeric is better absorbed in milk than in water. I use almond or cashew nut milk. Do let me know how you get on

Good luck Shirley

Christina
