After my DX I started taking Aloe Vera Gel or Aloe vera juice in the drinkable form. The taste isn't that bad, and I never noticed a direct flare from it, and my stomach and my IBS seemed better from it. However, I figured that because it does have citric acid in it, I should switch to pills. I got some natural store brand Aloe Vera Gel caps, because they are more inexpensive than the Desert Harvest.
I took it for 3 days and had the one of the worst IBS attacks I've had in months. All of it, bloating, cramping, leakage. I have no idea why my body loves it in juice and edible gel and not in pills. I think the juice and pills were the same brand (Solaray). Guess its back to juice. I'll just make sure to take Prelief with it.
Anyone know why this may have happened?
I drink a a little less than a cup of the gel or juice a day. I took 2-3 of the pills the days I took them and not all at once. Maybe its just too strong for me in that form.
