Aloe Vera for Digestive Problems

You have probably heard that aloe vera can help with any of Digestive
Problems. However, the truth is that only the purest, most potent,
aloe vera will have a noticeable effect on your life.

Digestive problems such as:

- IBD (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis)
- IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
- Food sensitivities
- Peptic ulcers
- GORD/GERD (Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease)

1. IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease)

If you suffer from IBD then you may be all too familiar with the
uncomfortable symptoms both Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis can
cause. From abdominal pain, fatigue and diarrhea right through to
nausea and rectal bleeding, you may feel like you never want to leave
the house and face the outside world.

2. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome you have probably been
suffering from diarrhea and constipation, perhaps alternating between
the two. You have probably also found this leads to and causes
uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and sharp
pains inside your rectum.

3. Food Sensitivities

Living with a food sensitivity can be a frustrating and depressing
experience.

Constantly checking the ingredients of everything you eat to make sure
you do not ingest anything that could give you stomach cramps, nausea
or diarrhea can be disheartening experience.

Eating out at restaurants becomes very difficult and you find yourself
sticking to a plain, boring diet.

4. Peptic Ulcers

Eighty percent of gastric ulcers and 90% of duodenal ulcers are caused
by the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori. Other factors are stress,
smoking, caffeine, alcohol, non-steroid-anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs), hydrochloric acid and pepsin.

If you are living with ulcers then you are probably experiencing some
of the most common symptoms which include a gnawing, burning pain in
your abdomen between your breastbone and your navel.

5. GORD/GERD

Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease is a condition which allows gastric
acids to reflux into the food pipe causing heartburn, acid indigestion
and possible injury to the oesophageal lining.

If you suffer from GORD/GERD then you may feel hoarseness in the
morning or have trouble swallowing - feeling like you have food stuck
in your throat or your throat is tight.

Beware taking anything without knowledge of side effects. The
pharmacology of aloe vera lists diarrhea as a known side effect (not
something you want to worsen when suffering from IBD).

As with anything be careful what you swallow, even if it is just
information posted on the web.

Diarrhea is not a problem in aloe formulations that have removed the aloin,
the element that causes diarrhea.

Aloe is a natural laxative.
There are 3 elements of Aloe which cause the laxative effect.
(aloin, aloe-emodin, and barbaloin)
When these are removed, just what is left of the Aloe?

Aloin has nothing to do with the beneficial properties of aloe, all of which
remain after the aloin has been removed. Moreover, aloe formulas made from
the inner filet of the leave contain none of the harmful laxative
properties--only the whole-leaf formulas do, and many of them remove the
aloin. This is an issue that needs to be checked case by case.
