He said that no one really knows the long term effects of anything on the bowels. He never commits himself to any definitive answer. He tells me to eat whatever I want to eat, take fiber if I want, take senna if I want, see a GI surgeon if I want. Take Miralax if I want...or not...take zelnorm or that new drug for C if I want, double up on my meds if I want....UGH.
You have to go to medical school to tell a patient to do whatever the heck they want and not inform them of any potential consequence? I don't think this is right. I'm deciding to pass on the aloe...just from what I've read on the boards. It's expensive and I don't know that it will even help. I don't want to take the chance of harming my body.
If you do take it, let me know how it goes. And if you ask your doctor, tell me what he thinks, okay?
