Aloe Vera juice...

[Speelgoedmannetje]

I mean, coffee isn't a soft healer

I know you will not like this one, but if you fast an entire day while drinking a quart of prune juice and a gallon of distilled water to flush out your system, you will probably feel better.

Would you say it is like swigging a bottle of liquid earwax?  :-P

Did someone just watch The Simpsons on SkyOne yesterday? :-P

To the uninitiated: Marge was in a baking competition and some of the other contestants were sabotaging her attempt so she got her own back by putting drops of ear wax on the other contestants food :-D

@ Vince

No, I don't have Sky and I never saw that episode. I just remember that as a kid I once tasted it by accident, and I almost puked. Since then I do not put my fingers in my mouth (probably a wise move considering I work in a hospital where you have to assume that your hands are dirty unless gloved or scrubbed).

Yeah Earwax isn't a great taste, but there are worse :-/

Hi
Perhaps you can ask for Aloe Vera Tablet or Capsules.
Almost every natural based medicine can be turned into  capsule/tablets, even Wine.

@all

I suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), if I ingest somthing that irritates my bowel the muscles begin contracting as the food passes through, it is quite painful. Last week I must have really upset it, because I spent the whole week feeling rather unwell, since I've been downing the Aloe Vera juice, I've felt a whole heap better.

I must try some of that, I have a mildish form of IBS.

[Cyberus]

I went through a period of having dodgy guts, and having recently read an article about modern bread manufacture methods, and how they basically suck, I tried a week without bread, believe it or not (not easy to do actually) and I'm feeling a lot better for it and have been off bread ever since. Hard to believe but this faux diagnosis I applied has seemed to have worked.

Of course, I'm no health expert, but it may be worth trying to eliminate certain things from your diet. I have a friend who's a nutritionist, and he says that mild intolerances to, e.g. gluten, are quite common.

I don't have any digestive problems. I don't even get indigestion or heartburn. And that's not because I eat lots of roughage, or special fibre, or probiotic drinks, or aloe vera...because I don't.

But I eat meals that are so spicy that most of you wouldn't be able to take a spoonful without finding it hard to breathe (well, except Karlos ). Maybe that's the secret.

Thats what catagory I normally fall under, I eat something my bowel doesn't like, my guts rumble, I feel a bit off colour and I get terrible flatulence (great for Dutch Ovens), then a few hours later its over. However, this bout was different, it just wouldn't break, even after a 24 hour fast.

I think maybe the first time you fully eat something insanely hot, it simply shorts out the nerve endings that relay any sensations from the ailementary canal.

After that you can eat cement and be fine :lol:

Sounds like your digestive system suffers a form of Shell Shock :lol:

Was that refering only to mass produced bread, ie. SunnyCrust etc., or did it include bread from the local bakery?
