I'm a little confused, as I didn't know about aloe

being a problem to the gut.

In your opinion, could intestinal formula #1 be a

problem for the gut on a long term basis, even if

taken periodically? Or is the way it is formulated

make it benign??

Thanks,

It seems to be just fine. Of course, despite the subject line, you

don't normally take it on an empty stomach.
