Aloe Vera has natural healing and detoxifying powers and works gently within the intestinal tract to help break down impacted food residues and thoroughly cleanse the bowel. It can help ease constipation and prevent continuing diarrhoea, setting a regularity to the bowel. All this helps to reduce discomfort and bloating.

Anecdotal Evidence for Aloe Vera and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Experience:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am an active 28-year-old healthy male, currently finishing my training as a nurse anesthetist. This is my seventh year of higher education mixed in with a couple of years of employment as an ICU nurse. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis/irritable bowel syndrome via colonoscopy.
Since my diagnosis, I have educated myself on the pathophysiology of the disease, as well as the pharmacological treatment. I was taking asacol by mouth three times a day, and my symptoms seemed to worsen and worsen over the past two years. Although I tried my best, the disease seemed to be taking over my life. I couldn’t go ANYWHERE without eyeing where the bathroom would be in case of an emergency…which came frequently. I had to drive to work 90 mph because I felt such urgency to need the bathroom. It was very difficult going out on ‘first dates’ because I NEVER knew when an attack would hit…which could be anytime. I tried not to let it take over my life, so I continued to do normal things like water skiing, bike riding, ect, and just prayed that an attack wouldn’t hit at those times. On my worst day, I used the bathroom 19 times.
Practicing anesthesia became very difficult since I couldn’t just abandon my sleeping patient to go use the restroom. It was at this time that I began seriously researching alternative therapies…. and found Aloe products. Somewhat skeptical at first about both its efficacy and its price, I felt that I had no other choice other than to at least give it a try. After reading all of the literature on it over and over again, I convinced myself that it would be not only safe, but an effective treatment for my misery.
Ladies and gentleman, my symptoms are almost non-existent now after one month. I have normal bowel movements without mucus or diarrhea. So far, I have only had a couple of small attacks that were MINIMAL compared to the ones I used to have. Most importantly, my quality of life has improved so much. I flew to Dallas this past weekend and didn’t get an ulcer worrying that I would have an attack on the plane. I actually go places now and don’t worry about where the bathroom is. The product scientifically makes sense and it has made a 100% believer out of me. You may use me as a reference any time. I am a better anesthesia practitioner now that I can concentrate more on my patient instead of my stomach. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
