I found one brand, Natural High Aloe Vera Gel, that actually was pretty good tasting (make sure it is cold). But the store where I bought it stopped carrying it and now all they have is that distilled kind that has NO taste, but also no leaf fiber, etc. It isn't the kind to take to help with bowel movements. I don't think a pill would be helpful for this purpose, either. Generally, if you want the benefits of a plant or food, you need to just take the real thing. It is available online from various sources. Be aware that this isn't the same gel that is used for sunburn, etc. Look for an aloe gel that is specifically made to drink. I was drinking about maybe 4-6 ounces each evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi Marg! I am trying to get my emails cleaned up and the aloe vera post stood out to me. I have email mess, been out of town!! Anyways, 's aloe although nice(no taste, smell etc.) we found to not work very well, it is to processed. It did seem to give my son some reflux relief, but not much for constipation. The more whole the aloe is the better it seems to work. Maybe upping the george's may help. Our son was prescribed 2 ounces a day to start at only 5yrs, so Im sure an adult can go much higher. We did some searching around and found the brand " Fruit of the earth " to work in comparing taste, smell,cost etc. Im sure there are other brands that work also, but living far from cities we dont get to compare shop much. To get my son's stools moving I now give him up to 3 oz(he is only 8 and about 45 lbs or so pounds). I dont struggle with constipation, but take up to 4-6 oz sometimes(to help with pain fatigue) and I have good movements the next day. So if you dont see relief from the 2 ounces, I would recommend upping the dose to about 4-6 ounces. And if possible, get a different form of aloe. It seems the greener/more colored the better it works, but the taste well be stronger. I find the " fruit of the earth " brand pleasant enough to drink straight. Pill form would be useless I believe(to processed) may help some with arthritis/pain, but I think just to broken down and would take a lot of pills to do anything.
