Hello- I'm pretty new to all this, diagnosed in July 2012 with Chrohns.
I've since had 2 recurrences with c-diff. I read recently that Aloe Vera can aid intestinal healing (it also said "cure" chrohns though so I'm not all in on this yet) so my question is, have any of you tried it? If so what were your findings?
Thanks! turn

I also had c diff twice, I believe in addition to antibiotic , taking a probiotics helped me to shorten c diff and kept it from coming back. I took Natren Healthy Trinity.

Aloe Vera made things worse for me - cramps and dria.

Hi and Welcome to HealingWell. I don't think aloe vera is meant to
treat c-diff. I would recommend seeing a gastro doctor before trying this.

Sorry for the confusion- I only mentioned the c-diff to give a look into my history. My actual question was simply whether or not anyone has used aloe internally and if so what were the results?
Again sorry for the confusion. And thanks for your answers.

I think its not recommended if you have deep inflammation because it may heal topically but not down deeper.also run of the mill aloe has harsh components that can increase diahrea. For those who can use it, they usually get a purified form that take the harsh components out. Georges aloe is the one we use. Its clear and hardly has any tsdte.
