Aloe Vera juice...
« on: November 22, 2004, 07:36:57 AM »
...is what was perscribed for me to help ease a...errr...digestive problem I have, all I can say is that it would have to be one of the worst things I have ever tasted, even when mixed with a huge glass of orange and mango juice you can still taste it...:shudder: Whats even scarier is that on the bottle, they've printed "New and improved flavour", I doubt it could be any worse :vomit:

Aloe Vera has some wonderful properties and is used quite a lot nowadays and for different stuff not only digestive health.

Drinking it has to be worst way of using it I will concur. :shocked:

Having never tasted earwax, I wouldn't know, however, just to answer your question, I'll be sure to stick my finger in my ear and have a taste...


edit...nope, Aloe Vera juice tastes far worse :-P

There's a vitamin supplement I take called Mulitbionta - its multivitamins, with those probiotic thingies.
It has layers to protect them during digestion.

Apparently all those probiotic yoghurt drinks don't work, as even if they do contain the right kind of bacteria, it gets destroyed by the digestive system before it reaches the gut, and are a multimillion pound con...

I've tried Papaya (in fresh, dried and in tablet form) to ease disgestion and that seems to work quite well.

Have you spoken to your doctor about your digestve issues?  Maybe you have a sensitivity to certain foods?

A digestive problem?  Constipation????  I used to suffer from this, and it caused no end of problems - poor circulation in my legs being the most serious one (because all of the hardened s**t presses against arteries).  Anyway, the best way to deal with this is to eat lots of fruit.  More fibre is good too - so nuts, beans, wholemeal bread, beer... anything that makes you fart basically.
