non-laxative Aloe Vera juice?

I tried a store brand - don't remember the name of it now - and it immediately cause problems. I called the company and their customer service swore the laxative component, aloin, had been removed. I tried again, but it still irritated me. George's Roadrunner Aloevera is the only one I know for sure is aloin-free, pure and gentle.

What are your current symptoms?

Have you tried l-glutamine as a way of healing the gut and controlling D? Also, have you done any research into antifungal/antiviral/antimicrobial protocols that might address an underlying infection of some sort that might be causing the pain/D?

Thanks Sara14- I will keep that one in mind too. Princesa- re. the glutamine- yes, have used it on and off. It doesn't seem to have any healing effect on me at all- only a short term constipating effect. plus, now I am a bit wary, because I have actually seen some very recent research papers in Pubmed that suggest it can paradoxically increase, not decrease, some aspects of inflammation. (I was surprised too.) Re. fungal or microbial infections- I am working on that. I have had numerous, expensive alternative tests come up negative for Candida and any obvious pathogens, however I am getting some more yet again to try and rule out everything before I end up colon-less. The thing is, I have tried lots of natural antibiotics- grapefruit seed extract and oil of oregano notably, on and off and all they seem to do is flare me up. Whether that is the famous "die off" or not, it is savage in my case in anything other than very light doses. But I have been researching and am working with an alternative MD. Mycobacterium are another possibility for all of us but one for which there is essentially no testing yet available anyhow.

The brand of aloe juice I use is called alo.

It has water, aloe vera juice, aloe pulp, cane sugar, and depending on flavor ("Appeal" the fruit juices of Pomelo, Lemon, and Pink Grapefruit) those three ingredients and then citric acid and ascorbic acid. I have never experienced any adverse symptoms or laxative type repercussions. I started drinking it because I have a bladder condition called IC, but it also helps alleviate heartburn and a number of other conditions.

And not to mention they have a cute QR code on every bottle to download a music tune to "match" the flavor you are drinking.
