Wouldn't hurt to try.
My opinion, these things can help with low levels of inflammation but are no match for flares.
I take fish oil every day for my blood sugar and cholesterol. It seems to help in that area somewhat.
I like ginger and consume a lot of it in my diet. When my gastritis really flares, tea made with fresh ginger soothes it better than almost anything. I find peppermint to be very anti-inflammatory for my GI tract as well.
But nothing works on my flares except for methylprednisone and Humira.
LDN works well at fighting my enthesitis.
But adding in supplements to help the drugs work even better, nothing wrong with that.
That's been my rheumy's and my approach.
The supplements were making me feel better between flares.
But still needed the big guns for flares.
