IBS/Aloe Vera/

[Guest guest]

Hi . I do use Aloe Vera and it helps. Not completely though. I still can

get lots of mucous and undigested food as well as occasionaly cramping,

bloating, belching, ichyness and loose stools. I took HCL and enyzmes for 6

months once, after learning I had an alkaline stomache. Didn't do a thing for

me. Maybe I should try different brands of enzymes but that gets expensive. I

have tried them since but still didn't notice any benefit. I have trouble

digesting things like nuts, corn, tomatoe skins and just plain veggies

sometimes. Other foods bother me like eggs and of course gluten and dairy. Keep

saying I'm going to do the food allergy testing from york allergy (a simple at

home blood draw) which is highly recommended on my celiac group but I haven't

had the money. I can't always relate it to what I've eaten and sometimes I can

go for periods without much trouble. Strange! Thanks, Carol B

Carol,

I was looking at the Modifilan website and came across this which might be

of benefit to you. It is mainly promoted for heavy metal elimination.

There is interesting potential application of Modifilan as one of the best

sources of fucoidan is for inflammatory conditions of the alimentary tract.

The inflammation process involves elevated synthesis of the proinflammotory

mediators like adhesion molecules, white cell infiltration of

gastrointestinal mucosa and altered mucosal integrity. Therapeutic use of

heparin has

produced clinical remission in the majority of patients with inflammatory bowel

disorder. One of the mechanisms involved is restoration of the fibroblast

growth factor activity that stimulates repair of the epithelium. Since

fucoidan

shares many properties with heparin including cell surfact activity one can

expect similar therapeutic benefit with use of fucoidan.

Another mechanism of the beneficial effect of heparin, heparan sulphate and

potentially fucoidan is their mucosal - protective properties as

glycosaminoglycans. Gastrointestinal inflammation may cause alteration in the

protective

mucosal layer of glycosalminoglycans and may cause substances like heparin

and fucoidan to become " conditionally essential " nutrients suitable for oral

administration because they can be absorbed across the GI mucosa.

Do they consider inflamatory bowel disease the same as IBS? I'll check into it.

GEE!, I need to start a " get back to and read (aka, check into it) folder. With

my lack of energy and fog (pressure in the head) I am such a procastinator. I

really will check into it. THANKS much . Carol B

Hi . I briefly checked out the Modifilan home page. I happpen to like

seaweed, kelp etc. but wasn't there a discussion of this not being so good for

mercury toxic folk? Don't remember why but maybe someone does. I'll definately

keep it in mind. thanks, Carol B
