Aloe Vera And Colitis - The
|
Some recent research indicates that aloe may well have something to offer patients with colitis but stipulate that this should be done under close observation by medical professionals.
Having said that, I do know of a case where a herbal aloe concentrate has been used as part of a complete dietary plan, which brought great relief to the patient.
She stated that she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and treated with various drugs and steroids, which initially helped. However these drugs caused her to have unpleasant side effects, so she stopped using them without telling her doctor.
Of course, as soon as the medication was stopped her symptoms returned.
A relative, who worked in the natural food industry, suggested she should cut out foods containing wheat, sugar and dairy. She did this and noticed an almost immediate improvement. However, she would still get flare ups from time to time.
It was at this point that she was introduced to a range of herbal meal replacement products which included the aloe concentrate drink. Here's the connection between aloe vera and colitis.
In total, she uses a healthy program which consists of about a dozen different products, all specifically targeted to her particular problems.
For example she takes a herbal tablet which helps to control diarrhoea by bonding the waste. Another preparation to balance bacteria and boost her immune system and to prevent bloating. A high quality omega 3 for circulation, and a preparation of specially blended herbs for overall relaxation and stress relief.
She continues to follow this dietary program daily and now reports that her colitis is under control and her health is much improved.
She no longer suffers from water retention, which had been one of the side effects of the cortisone she has been using.
She does admit,that from time to time attacks do come but confesses that these usually happen when she has been naughty and not stuck to her healthy eating plan. Again, this story about aloe vera and colitis shows the hidden powers of this plant.
