I have read the articles regarding the use of Aloe Vera to aid in intestinal disorders and find them interesting;however, as with everything it depends on each individual case. For me, this approach did not work at all primarily because of the many symptoms. To be fair, I have Crohns and due to many surgeries am expereincing what is known as 'the short bowel syndrome.' Therefore the symptom of diaherra for example, did not fair well with my situation. I really can't understand Aloe Vera being used for this ailment if in fact diaherra is the common symptom. Kind of defeats the purpose since it is what we are trying to prevent. But if it is working for anyone else, I wish you well.
