i've been drinking 1/4 cup of pure aloe vera juice every night before bed for almost 2 weeks now. i really think it's helped with the consistencyof my stool. it doesn't hurt to come out anymore b/c it's never dry. still, usually about 20 min after BM i'll start hurting down there. the amount and intensity of pain is nothing compared to what i've dealt with in the past...definitely not as much as before my May surgery. it's still not completely healed, but i don't cry as much anymore, and i have more good days than bad ones lately. :) whether the aloe's helping or not, i can't really say yet, but i love drinking it anyway!
i have my pre-op appt this friday and my 2nd LIS surgery the end of sept. i'm crossing my fingers that between my strict supplement regiment, diet, and this 2nd surgery i will rid myself of this demon soon!
question - how much pure aloe do you drink per day? i went from 2 tblspoons to 1/4 cup and have noticed a difference. is 1/2 cup too much per day?

Does Aloe Juice make you have loose stools?
