    Desert Harvest Aloe causing pain

    Has anyone ever taken Desert Harvest Aloe and gotten stomach pain with it. Like cramping pain.

    I just started it about a week ago and last night I really started hurting, since the Aloe is the only thing different, I am thinking it is causing my pain.

    TIA

        Just tried this and I went into a flare. It was the first one in months! One dose convinced me that I don't want anymore. I was looking for an alternative to Elmiron as my hair is falling out. -Vicki

          I haven't tolerated aloe if any form. I do take glucosamine 750 mg 3x a day and quicertin but I only tolerate one brand of each pm me if you want to know. After 2 months I no longer have night time frequency and am able to tolerate more foods. I am working twards my 3rd month and I can't wait to erase my frequency symptom from my signiture

            HI! I have to jump in here......I've used Freeze dried Aloe Vera for 3 yrs now and it works great for me. I've never had any problems with it......I think it's just one of those IC things......where it works for some. The Desert Harvest brand is stronger than what you can get at health food stores.....so you might be over doing it if you are taking more than one pill a day to start with. I take 1 pill 3 times a day and doing great with it. Roxie

            For IC I use Elmiron, Elavil and Freeze dried Aloe Vera (it works likes Elmiron, but naturally)and Azo as needed. I also take Zegerid, Randitine for Barrett's Esophagus. (which causes me to have constant yeast infections!)I take Cymbalta for Neuopathy/Myopathy pain. I use the Climara patch for menopause symptoms. I'm on a very strict diet because of the IC, IBS and Gastric Bypass. I take Primal Defense Probiotics and whole food Iron.
            I no longer have the awful urethral pain! I've been using MSM gel now for 4 mo. and haven't had a flare up or the urethra pain.....it's amazing stuff!!:woohoo:

              Yes, I am doing well with Desert Harvest Aloe also. Roxie's right -- these things are very individual. Trust your gut (in this case, literally, LOL).
              Je vous souhaite de la joie, de la bonne santée, et tout ce qu'il y a de bon dans la vie.
              Wishing you happiness and good health, and all the best out of life.

              Peace, Carolyn

                The aloe helps me too and I get worse when I ran out and had to wait a few weeks to order!!

                I did however order the free sample of 5 before ordering my 4 bottles etc.!
