Read Heather's newsletter, Some notes on Aloe Vera and Aloe, cascara sagrada, and senna laxtives can cause cathartic colon.

Aloe vera and senna are stimulant laxatives. Here is an IBS reference from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine that says "If a laxative is needed, osmotic laxatives such as Miralax, sorbitol or lactulose (all of which are prescription drugs) are recommended over stimulant laxatives. Stimulant laxatives, when taken over a period of time, may harm the bowel and should be avoided for chronic use. Most over-the-counter varieties are stimulant laxatives, including "natural" laxatives containing senna."
