I use it, too!  I just try to include it in food whenever it makes sense.  Curry powder has it naturally so I like to cook with that.  I've put it in rice and oatmeal, too, although I'm trying to steer clear of all grains currently. :/  

I also have a supplement - Dr. Tobias Turmeric 15X plus BioPerine that I take 1x daily.

I use it every day, Youtheory brand from Costco. 1000 mg with 10 mg piperine, 1 capsule a day. Never have any issues on re-entry, although occasionally I'll get a peppery burp or two if I haven't had enough water. One big gulp of water usually takes care of it. Seems to work wonders -- I had problems with recurrent acute back spasms for years, those went away once I started on turmeric.

Hello, Michele. I use organic powdered turmeric from a health food store. I sprinkle it on scrambled eggs, vegetables, fish, tofu, avocado toast, smoothies, anything at all. The earthy rich taste is great. Use black pepper at the same time: black pepper helps the body absorb the turmeric. That's why sometimes you'll see some capsules sold with a label that says "with black pepper".  Turmeric is also sold in greengrocers in raw root form (it looks like a fresh ginger root!) and you can keep it in a zip lock Baggie in your freezer so you can grate it over food. Keeps forever in the freezer. 

I've never experienced butt burn from Turmeric at all.  The benefit for J-Pouchers is general anti-inflammation.  Here is some reading from varied sources to get a broad perspective. (Not surprisingly WebMD has a healthy dose of skepticism, but I expected that because all my medical doctors (GI and my Surgeon) have said I should be able to eat whatever I want post-surgery, and I know that's not true - we still have autoimmune issues, and that doesn't go away just because our colon does.)
