Excellent for stomach issues like GERD.
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease last year & have been suffering with horrible acid reflux for 10 years. I was up to the point of taking 2 prescription acid reflux pills per day, and still having horrible heart burn. I tried everything, being EXTREMELY careful with diet (no alcohol, coffee, orange juice, soda, spicy or acidic foods in 10 years!). My friend who Vietnamese & uses natural herbs told me about turmeric, and how it help your stomach with acid reflux, cancer, etc.
Now, I'm not a doctor, but after her urging for more than 3 months, I finally gave it a try, and IT'S AMAZING. If I take 2 of these per day, I have NO acid reflux and DON'T have to take any prescription medications for GERD. Now, if I go without it, the acid reflux comes back, so I just stay with it. And FYI: I've found most of NOW supplements are gluten free and safe for celiacs.
