Welcome to the Dr. Berg healthy keto and intermittent fasting podcast.

Now your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level, Dr. Eric Berg.

I wanted to do a quick video and share a tip on what to do for irritable bowel syndrome

as well as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease and any type of inflammatory problem

you have in your valves and it's using turmeric.

Now this was demonstrated both in animal and human studies using about two grams per day.

And the active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, okay?

That's a special plant compound that is probably one of the most potent anti-inflammatory

remedies found in nature.

So you definitely want to use it if you have any type of bowel inflammation.

It tends to inhibit two very powerful enzymes involved with inflammation.

It will help decrease pain inflammation similar to what aspirin and ibuprofen will do.

And the mechanism is very similar to vitamin D. So you might even also want to add vitamin

D if you have this.

But turmeric is a very good thing because it's very effective and it has virtually no

side effects.

You can also increase the absorption two different ways.

You take one tablespoon of curcumin powder and you mix it in with one to two eggs, okay?

And one teaspoon of coconut oil and then you basically lightly fry this and you consume

that because it will actually emulsify within the protein.

You can also take one tablespoon of curcumin powder in one quart of boiling water and boil

it for ten minutes, okay?
