Aloe Vera juice?

Anyone use this? I remember someone recommending it for inflammation. I bought some and have started taking it. I have started with 2 oz per day mixed with another juice as it is gross! Anyone else have any luck with it? What amount did you use? How long until you noticed a difference?

I am on 10mg of prednisone right now and my symptoms are returning. I am also taking imuran, which has only been for the past month. Not sure if I should up the prednisone or stay on 10mg with the symptoms that are bearable. I have used slippery elm and glutamate, but neither seemed to help. The aloe Vera juice is my next step.

i never noticed a difference when i took it. i would do 2 aloe shots a day- 4oz of aloe juice with a squeeze of lime. maybe more is required? i'm not sure. i was using George's aloe because the only Lily of the Desert my store had was full of preservatives.

Aloe Vera gives me diarrhea within hours.

I take it and it helped me greatly. I guess it depends on the person :)

i have gotten results from the isotonix protocol with marketamerica.com. it was recommended by my doctor and has (we believe) put the ulcerative colitis in remission. it is a 1L bottle with Aloe juice, OPC 3, digestive enzymes, probiotics, B-Complex, orange juice, and half a liter of water. the brand I buy from market america has had the "laxitive" taken out of the juice, which is good. it helps move things along without giving you the runs. also, the natural flavor doesn't taste bad when mixed with the orange juice and other powders (it's just a little bubbly).

Aloe vera juice is a natural laxative. I tried it and the explosions that resulted turned me away from it and I never looked back. During flares I break out the ole juicer. Its a cheapo centrifugal brand but does the trick. I've never tried aloe but I get good results from carrots, spinach, and celery. usually like 6 carrots a few handfuls of spinach and about 3 stalks of celery. It freezes well if you feel inclined to make a bunch. The carrot and celery taste good but I have to take the spinach like a shot, as its a bit on the earthy side for my tastes. shudder.

These are live atoms people and the juice is assimilated rather quickly but don't be surprised if you witness some in the porcelain depending on the severity of the flare. This is especially helpful if you are bleeding. I did some experiments back in school with the chlorophyll molecule and if you want a brainbuster look at how similar that molecule is compared to human hemoglobin.. swap out the mag in the chloro and insert iron and presto you got urself some hemo. I love me some mamma nature.

Peace and love

All brands made me much worse- they tiriggered increased pain, and also D, and actual flaring. Smeone suggested I try "George's Aloe vera juice" because supposedly it wouldnt have the harsh effect but it was just like all the others. I wont ever drink any aloe juice again.

I tried it for a month or so and it did not help me. That's when I stopped drinking it and went with SCD.

What i found out was that if you take aloe vera it must be inner leaf gel only. The outer leaf acts as a laxative to us.
The Serovera brand is supposed to be the best ingredients from the inner leaf gel in a capsule, but is expensive.
There are plenty of juices out there that are pure inner leaf gel only.

I take george's aloe vera. It doesn't taste bad at all, it tastes like water. It's the one recommended by Jinny Patel and Crohn's boy.

Old thread but i figured i could help someone.
When it comes to aloe vera i do not settle for anything other than the real leaf. 100 ml 2x a day, before meal. Taste is nasty at start but now it dont bother me at all. Everything we ever eat and taste is acquired so don't complain about taste - get used to it. I mix this with turmeric, 3 pills a day. These have given me results so far. Best of luck. Oh I also did full alergy blood work and came up low sensitive to wheat so i am going gluten free which i think it's also helping. I urge u all to do a full allergy food test - uc has a huge autoimune aspect of it. Talk to an imunologist
