This newsletter (bottom of page). Heather says "In plain English, this means that aloe causes faster and stronger contractions of the colon - something that people with IBS are already overly prone to, and which can cause violent abdominal cramps, painful spasms, and diarrhea."
It is probably not a good idea to take aloe vera when you have IBS.

Aloe vera is a rather hash laxative. Perhaps you could try a stool softner like Dulco-Ease or (Colace in North America). It is available at most chemists. It is not as hash - however, it does take a bit longer to work. And you can take it for quite a long time without problems.

That is wonderful! The magic of SF for IBS management never ceases to amaze me

Julie, I just responded to another one of your posts, but maybe you should focus on your diet for a bit before you start messing with supplements such as probiotics and aloe vera juice. Your diet doesn't seem to include much SF, and in fact includes a lot of IBS triggers such as dairy and bran.
Please review the EFI guidelines and give them a try.
