Aloe Vera and Post-Op Surgery Stomach Issues



Recommended Posts

My Mother once told me about all of the various cures, foods, etc. found in the Bible. One of these is Aloe Vera.

She had a Hispanic friend from a card club who had ulcers and used to come over and cut off some of the leaves from her plant, strip the outter skin and blend the rest, and then add it to a milkshake and drink it. We also used to use it for sunburns. It would take the sting out right away and within 20 minutes there was no longer any pain. Some Burn Centers grow it and use it to treat patients.

When I had my surgery in December 2014 I bought a gallon of Aloe Vera juice from a local Natural Foods store. I did a luittle research and found you only want juice extracted from Inner Fillet, without the skin. It seems there are reports of the skin containing some toxins.

I had it for a while and never tried it until my stomach started feeling a little meh and made me turn away from some foods I used to enjoy.

After two days of using the juice in my Crystal Lite my stomach felt a lot better. Now I use it exclusively when I am at home. 1-2 ounces in each drink up to eight ounces a day is what they recommend.

Has anyone else used it themselves? What have been your experiences? Is there any Medical information about using it internally?

Please let me know.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
