I have psoriatic arthritis and high grade PIN with small cell acinor proliferation on one core. Unfortunately, previous use of NSAIDS created very sensitive stomach lining, gastritis, for which i am still on nexium. I am wondering which,if any ,of the supplements that you mention that may be of value for both inflammation and cancer- e.g boswellia, curcumin, zyflamed, and quercitin- are irritating for those with gastritis issues or are gastric neutral.thank you.

None of these should cause problems if you take it with food. Also, add about 4 grams of fish oil a day. See a naturopathic doctor for gut support- this is a big part of our training. It is imperative to have a health gastric system for overall health. Best wishes.
