Well some of you may remember me, i turned up a couple of months ago on this board after suffering IBS for about
6 years
after reading some stuff i thought i might give aloe vera gel (not juice) a go
well, i took about 2.5 to 3 ounces of the stuff every morning about half an hour before breakfast for about 5-6 weeks
at first i thought it might be working cos i didn't have any bad attacks but in week 4 i had a few bad moments. I guess overall i was feeling marginally better, with maybe slighlty less of an upset stomach then usual. but i don't know it's hard to tell, it certainly wasn't really anything to write home about so i've stopped drinking the stuff... 
oh well, just thought i'd let u know how i got on, you never know, just because it didn't work for me it dosen't mean it won't for you!
back to the drawing board then...
