Hi Prasad, thank you for your question, because for me this is a good opportunity to clarify certain issues.

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 reasearch.

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. Such compensation does not influence the information in this site.

I always try to give my best in what ever I do. Because I believe that the best reward for a job, is knowing that you have done the best you could do for this job.

But as I said, I'm not a doctor and my advice is, always first 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 the recent years there have been many studies about aloe vera and its benefits for the human health and also for the animal health. I'll mention only two related to colitis.

Dr Lee Cowden (Dallas, Texas) stated that daily consumption of aloe vera gel helps greatly in combat and relieve the annoying symptoms of 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 noted further that the color of their face looked better and their overall health had improved!

Inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, colitis 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.

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

Stop smoking or / and drinking coffee and instead start reinforcing your body with the proper nutrition, drinking aloe vera gel drink every day and stay active. Aloe will support you the best way and will be very helpful in your body's detoxification.
