Aloe Vera Juice

no, never tried it, but others have..they'll be in with feedback.

Have you been on rectal meds yet? your GI should have suggested them as well.

Tried George's Aloe Vera for a month or so. No help for me....

Ok, I promised more info..

Here are two very helpful resources I found:
ALOE contains a variety of compounds with confirmed antioxidant capacity and other putative health benefits (such as blood glucose, cholesterol and cortisol lowering properties) relating to the prevention or treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and hypertension.


Many of the health benefits associated with Aloe vera have been attributed to the polysaccharides contained in the gel of the leaves. These biological activities include promotion of wound healing, antifungal activity, hypoglycemic or anti-diabetic effects anti-inflammatory, anticancer, immunomodulatory and gastroprotective properties. ……. recently discovered effects and applications of the leaf gel. These effects include the potential of whole leaf or inner fillet gel liquid preparations of Aloe Vera to enhance the intestinal absorption and bioavailability of co-administered compounds as well as enhancement of skin permeation.

Notes from www.pubmed.gov

Here is another link for AloeGold from a company called Univera. http://francoach.myunivera.com/
You're welcome to check out the site. I've tried many of their products, and they work wonders. The AloeGold is found if you just go to "The Products" up top, then hit "Fortify", and then click on Aloe Gold.

Hope some of this was helpful!

Thanks for all the information! I am definitley going to do some research and maybe do a little trial and error. Perhaps when I'm out of this current flare up. I was concerned when I found some websites that stated that it had a "cleansing effect." We certainly don't need any more of that do we? :)

I've heard that certain aloe juices have the "laxative effect" component removed. That's the one you should find.

I've never used aloe so can't give personal testimony on it. It's "illegal" on the Specific Carb. Diet because it has polysaccharides.

George's Roadrunner Aloe Vera juice is safe to try, if you're worried about laxative effects because the aloin has been removed. Here's more info:
