Has anyone heard of AMP Floracel or AMP Molocure? Says it's good for digestive disorders. If anyone has heard or knows anything about these, good or bad please let me know. Thanks!

Hello JoDo,

I just looked it up on WebMD. AMP Floracel and Molocure are Aloe. The WebMD ebsite said "Do not use aloe if: You have intestinal conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or obstruction."

There was a thread on these products a while back --

Thanks for the info, I also heard that, but I also hear it was good for you kinda like aloe is good for sunburns only on the inside of your body. I did order a bottle to see, I guess when you get so frustrated with anything you will try anything. I will let everyone know what I think after I take it. In the mean time please let me know if you have any experience with it so I know kinda what to expect. Thanks!

Have you tried slippery elm?  It's safe for people with Crohn's.  It creates a mucilage when drank with warm water that supposedly coats your guts.  I have been using it for a while.  I think I have less problems, but I can't be certain.  All I know is that it doesn't make me worse or sick and is pretty safe.

Hi JoDo,

I used the Molocure faithfully for about 9 months, and was up to taking 18 capsules a day. I kept being told to increase the dosage as the lesser dosages weren't doing anything for me. I was actually feeling progressively worse while taking it. I'm not going to say it won't work for you, it just didn't work for me.

After a while I remembered something I had read years ago. I read that if you have ever had a good case of poison ivy you will likely be allergic to aloe vera. Well, I had a case that just about took me out of the picture when I was 7 yrs. old. I had it all over my body and in my lungs. It was touch and go, but I did survive.

I have noticed that I cannot use aloe on my skin as I will get a burning rash. But I never added two and two before I took it internally. So, as I said, it may help you, but I had to let it go when I started passing blood taking it.

You may be better off taking a supplement that has okra in it. The slime is very healing, and it's a whole lot cheaper.

Good luck, keep us posted.
