Crohn's disease is a systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of unknown cause, that results in chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, and can also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract. There is no known medical or surgical cure for Crohn's disease, but there are many medical...
So I was doing some research for work and happened on a study about curcumin and ulcerative colitis. Curcumin is the substance that gives turmeric that yellow/orange color. Apparently it has anti-inflammatory properties.
This study had people take 1 gram of curcumin after breakfast and 1 after dinner and it helped those taking it stay in remission. Here's the link: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_1_12/ai_n19170706
Has anyone tried curcumin supplements?

My husband took tumeric for a while. He couldn't really tell if it helped or not. It is definitely worth a try. He didn't have any side effects or anything from it. It was a pill supplement and pretty easy to take.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
