Has anyone heard of Aloe Vera helping diverticular problems?

I saw a very convincing article on the computer about its benefits for all gastric and diverticular etc

    I was advised to take ala Vera juice.   I get it out of Holland and Barrett .  

    I take it in a little orange juice or any thing I vhave and it certainly helps.

    It.s supposed to put a lining on your gut.   It is certainly very good for you.

      I bought Aloe Vera juice and am about to start taking 2 oz per day and monitor my reaction. I thought I'd also apply a little to my hair :-)

    I have taken it when I have had pains in my gut as I was told it was soothing. I wouldn't take it as a matter of course because it's not cheap and it tastes foul (in my opinion). I found more success in changing my diet to exclude pips, seeds, skins and spicy foods. Now it's much better I risk the odd `forbidden` thing occasionally.

    I tried for a short while but couldnt take the taste of it. I didnt give it time to work or not. The only thing that works for me is the high dose probiotics and drinking the fiber.

      If you add two spoons to your favourite juice you don't taste it and it is still benefisial

    I might try that. Maybe the Aloe companies will start making them with flavor so that more people would use their product.
