Anyone had luck or bad luck with this? How much do you ingest?

I add a 1/4 cup to my morning smoothie along with l-glutamine powder when I start to feel like things are acting up. It's hard to say how much it helps, but I think it does help soothe some of the inflammation.

I think some people have increased D when taking it.

I had high hopes for this....tried it for 3-4 months with no change....then tried adding some probiotics to my diet, no change...now I am on to the coconut oil...hoping THIS will make a positive change..

Gl with the Aloe for you!!! have a great weekend!

As I have moderated this forum for quite a few years, this question has been asked often. My recollection is that members are divided about 50-50 whether this is helpful in reducing symptoms or not.

I tried drinking Aloe juice back in the late 90's a year after i had right sided hemi colectomy.I had no success sadly so it was back to steroids etc.

A decade later i decided to try Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccarides (AMP) after i read a section of Dr Ivan Danhofs research.For myself, i have found AMP to be the best treatment i've ever taken in my battle with CD.
