Turmeric/Curcumin

RobinP · 06-01-2008, 08:37 AM

I love curry chicken and tumeric spices in cooking and I supplement with tumeric tablets when I lack curry in my diet.

I would like to take curcumin, but it gives me terrible ( I mean within minutes) bloating and you know what! Any suggestions ?

Hi,
I add a little tumeric/curcumin to vegetarian chili and to Asian noodle dishes, especially the ones with soup. Nobody knows. Maybe we can add a little of it to some pasta dishes that are eaten with tomato sauce. I have to try that. I also read that we can add a little blackstrap molasses to chili to add more iron, calcium and potassium, but I never tried that.
I wonder if a couple chewable digestive enzymes available at most health food stores would help the folks who have indigestion after eating things with a little spice! They help me when I have a little indigestion.

hi,
I forgot to mention that I add tumeric/curcumin to hummus and falafal. If I can add it to falafal it can probably be added to homemade vegetarian and other burgers. Humm. I will try that.

I loved reading all this about Turmeric, which I started taking last year for inflammation when I hurt my neck. I use Solaray Turmeric (root extract 300mg., guaranteed 95%, 285 mg., Curcumin) and I take two a day.

Plus, like some of you, I add it to soups, even oatmeal along with cumin on occasion. Hey, with what we've been through, we're allowed to be creative in the kitchen and everywhere else.

Enjoy your day,
