I just thought I'd let people know that I seem to be having some success with aloe vera capsules. I got them from a health food shop where they were advetised for IBS. Apparently you can get liquid or capsule form. I've been using the capsule. The brand I found is Lifestream.
They seem to settle my stomach quite a bit....it doesn't seem as touchy or prone to gas as it used to be.

Emma Thanks for your message, is something i have been thinking about trying and is nice to know that it has worked for someone else. However, there are so many ideas out there i have to be careful that i let one have a chance to work properly before i try another one! Kathryn (UK)

When do you take the aloe capsules? Do you take them during an attack, after?

At first I started taking the capsules first thing in the morning, then just before bed....the instructions said they worked best on an empty stomach. Now I take one capsule once a day, usually at night...although sometimes I forget so I take it in the morning.
I've tried finding out a bit about aloe vera on the web, with not much luck as yet....I just keep getting manufacturers blurbs...but I did read something about a Dr in the UK having great success with his patients. Also, apparently it is great for cleansing the gut (form what I could gather, the liquid form was used for this)...
I'm going to keep looking when I have time.....

Hi With IBS-D, the idea of cleansing the gut is not appealing. I am interested in the healing properties of aloe vera, and I, too, have only found info on the web. I have a question into my good friend's daughter who is very knowledable about herbs and such. If and when I learn anything, I will be sure to post the info. Sue
