I Have Been Taking Meriva Turmeric & Bromelain Supplements For Arthritis Since Visiting A Rheumatologist Two Weeks Ago…

@Heartlander been taking it for less than 2 weeks. What surprised me was taking it one time and that night I could sleep on my left side without my shoulder being uncomfortable. Just one pill. I am taking two a day now and two Bromelain. I had trouble taking standard turmeric capsules because they caused me to have acid coming up in my throat. But Meriva is processed different and more bioavailable. I believe that it is fermented. Pineapple is naturally high in bromelain. But it has a lot of sugar in it and don’t want to have it every day. I found out that bananas also have bromelain in them. I knew something was up with bananas because when I had sciatica for 3 months I was in a lot of pain every day but it eased up when I had a banana. If I didn’t feel like going to the grocery store for a couple of days after running out of bananas the pain would be worse.

@cherokeepatti I don't usually have back problems if I eat early.

@FreestyleArt It sounds more like acid in your stomach when you lay down. I have pain running up my back and between my shoulder blades if I lay down too soon after eating a full meal or eat fried food for dinner.

@cherokeepatti hhmm they may do it.

@cherokeepatti Wow thats great... good for you!! ✊🏻 Yes they rarely are educated outside the box. They would have to be self-educated on 'alternative medicines' and/or get some some holistic education

@Namor69 My daughter had 3 autoimmune disorders as a young teen. I noticed a pattern of her suddenly craving certain healthy foods that she had never wanted before. So I would buy them and sometimes she’d have them every day or like salmon at least 3 times a week. Each new thing I would go read about till I found out the health benefits. Each of those things were helping her in specific ways to her disorders. Salmon, green tea, eggplant, curry spices in food, even blackberry leaf tea. I had bought a package of that tea because I found it on clearance and was wanting to get off caffeine drinks. I didn’t open it but she was having inflamed intestines at least once a month from the lupus. And it would be so severe that she would have to stay home from school at least 3 days before it healed enough where she could sit through her classes. It started up again and she stayed home. Called me up excited saying she had tried that tea and it was helping her bowels. I was thinking it would be too soon to tell and maybe she was just thinking it was helping. She called me two more times telling me after each time drinking the tea. By the next morning she went to school instead of staying home two more days. So I knew that it would be good for me. And the marshmallow root and also slippery elm bark is good for that and an inflamed bladder. I had used slippery elm bark for a sore throat in Lorenzo’s and it helped with my bladder when I was younger (I am sensitive to certain acids in some fruits and drinks).

@cherokeepatti The more you look (research), the more you can find right. So much out there readily available for various ailments... appreciate your testimonial - living thru it trial and error!! Wishing you and your fam much more success in treating those pesky health issues! 🙏🏻

@ShenaniganFoodie I think this has extra curcumin, believe that it’s fermented.
