Aloe Makes for a Happy Tummy

I've been using my dehydrated aloe for a little over a week now (see entry: My Aloe Has Arrived). It goes into my daily smoothie and down the hatch. Prior to using it, I have always had issues with a VERY sensitive stomach. I often suffered from nausea in the mornings if I drank or ate too fast, and had to be cautious about spicy foods. Any changes in my diet, even minor ones, led to an unpleasant "adjustment period" for my bowels. It was something I took for granted as a quirk of my anatomy. There is nothing physically wrong with me that any doctor has been able to find. Well it's almost too good to be true, but after the last few days I definitely can't deny it...my stomach is happy! I've had no issues with nausea, and no repercussions from spicy food. Eating quickly doesn't bother me anymore, nor does that first drink of water in the morning. It feels consistently settled and steady, which is so foreign to me that I can't stop thinking about it every time I eat. You may think it's a placebo effect, but I DO tend to be very methodical and even cynical with my "experiments". I wasn't expecting any noticeable results to be honest. I am very pleased to be able to recommend adding aloe to your daily diet. At best you may experience the same healing effect that I have, and at worst you certainly won't be doing yourself any harm.
