Well, not eating so much as ingesting in pill form because let's face it: turmeric tastes like dirt.
I'd read in multiple locations that turmeric was one of the most anti-inflammatory spices available, so when I saw it at the grocery store about a month ago I decided to pick some up, intending to try cooking with it.
If you'd like to read more about turmeric's health benefits, read here and here.
However, none of the recipes I found seemed at all appetizing, or they involved rice, which I am not supposed to be eating. So in a moment of rare clarity, I decided to use my "sitting in the cupboard doing nothing since I'm no longer ingesting essential oils" capsules and make my own turmeric pills.

So here we are, a month later, with "unexplainable" increased growth in my baby.
Am I saying for sure that it is the turmeric that made the changes? No, but it is the only thing dietary change that I made and when you combine that with the knowledge that my clotting problem is related to inflammation, it would make logical sense for me to conclude that the turmeric is the reason for the change.
My little 0.95oz bottle of turmeric was under $1. It is, hands down, the cheapest supplement I've ever taken! I will continue to take it for months to come, or until my family as a whole can learn to cook meals with fewer of the inflammatory foods on the menu.
**If you didn't get a chance to read either of the links on turmeric, I recommend doing some internet research of your own.**
