Strato's answer:

Does Aloe Vera gel cure colitis? - Disclosure

Hi Prasad, thanks for the question because this is a good opportunity for me to clarify certain issues.

Me personally, I have not studied medicine and all of my answers to your questions are based on the official literature, the experience of our fellow humans and my personal experience and research.

My recommendation on products are based mostly on my personal experience after many years of using stabilized aloe barbadensis Miller products. I will receive compensation from Forever Living Products, when someone purchase products from Retail Aloe Store. However, such compensation does not influence the information in this site in no way.

I will never support false claims on Forever's products, in order to sell one or two products more.
I am always trying to give my best in what ever I do. I believe that the best reward for a work, is knowing that I have done the best I could do for this work.

But as I said, I'm not a doctor and my advice is that you have always firstly to consult your family physician if you are experiencing a medical problem. Regarding your question:

Will Aloe Vera gel help to cure my colitis? - Studies

In recent years there have been many studies about Aloe Vera and its benefits for the human health and also for animal's health. I'll refer only two related to colitis.

Dr Lee Cowden (Dallas, Texas) stated that daily consumption of the gel helps greatly on relieving from annoying symptoms and fighting many diseases such as ulcerative colitis, problems in the esophagus, peptic ulcer, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, mouth lesions and sore throat.
Dr. B. Frielander (San Diego, California) nutritionist, noted that patients with chronic colon problems including constipation, hemorrhoids, ulcerative colitis and Crohn 's disease, benefited from the daily consumption of aloe juice as part of a treatment program. He further noted that the color of their face looked better and their overall health had improved!

Conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers and colitis are able to wound the colon and make it excitable, leading to bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever. Aloe Vera gel when drunk every day, is particularly effective because of its anti-inflammatory action.

Changing our bad habits to healthful habits - Drinking Aloe Vera gel every day

Colitis is most commonly caused by poor diet, lack of fibre, stress or an excess use of coffee and/or alcohol. Thus, abandoning bad habits or rather changing our bad habits to other healthful habits is the best way to help ourselves against colitis.

We can stop smoking and/or drinking coffee e.g. and instead, start reinforcing our body with the proper nutrition, drinking Aloe Vera gel drink every day and staying active. Aloe will support us the best way and will be very helpful in our body's detoxification.

One of the best Aloe Vera gel drink is Forever's Aloe Vera Gel. Imagine slicing open an aloe leaf and consuming the gel directly from the plant. The miraculous aloe leaf contains 200 compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins.

Forever's Aloe Vera Gel Drink

Forever's Aloe Vera Gel is as close to the real thing as you can get. A product of Forever's patented aloe stabilization process, Aloe Vera Gel is favored by those looking to maintain a healthy digestive system, a natural energy level and many more health benefits.

It is the first to receive IASC Certification by the International Aloe Science Council and this rich cocktail of pulp and liquid authenticates this product just as nature intended. Taken daily, either alone or mixed with pure fruit juice, Aloe Vera Gel is one of the best nutritional supplements available!

Joy and Health,

Healed from UC
by: Teri

I have been healed of ulcerative colitis by doing a home fecal transplant. I aquired UC in 2009 after taking a Zpack antibiotic for a sinus infection then a month or two later I had knee surgery, where I was given an antibiotic during surgery.

The very next day after surgery, I had explosive diarrhea, gas, cramps. Tests showed it was not C-diff or any other infection. Doctors said I would have to live with it for the rest of my life and take drugs the rest of my life that suppress my immune system.

I learned about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and stopped eating all yeast, sugar, starch, wheat and lactose in May of 2012 after suffering for 3 years of bleeding, diarrhea, gas, cramps, etc. These are the foods that feed the bad bacteria, then your body tries to flush it out with mucus and beings to protect itself with inflammation. I don't believe it is my immune system attacking itself - but it is attacking a bacteria that is causing damage and my immune system is trying to kill the bad bacteria off.

The SCD diet did help but the stronger microbes began to die off, being starved from their regular diet of those things I quit eating and create a flare of my UC symptoms. After a two month flare I did a home fecal transplant.

I have been symptom free every since. I still eat SCD as I want to give my digestive system time to heal and for the good bacteria to get well established in my colon. I don't want to ever go through this again.

I would recommend anyone with irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease to research fecal transplants and check out my blog - http://healed-from-uc.blogspot.com.

It had given me my life back.
