Can Aloe Vera Help You Lose Weight?
Aloe Vera Plant
If you’re a bit squeamish about bathroom visits, probably best to give this post a miss! I won’t be graphic but I know not everybody is comfortable discussing it!
I don’t mind admitting I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It must be a family thing as we all seem to have it! Anyway, about 2-3 weeks ago, somebody suggested I start taking aloe vera tablets to help ease my symptoms e.g. bloating, cramps, constipation etc. The results have actually been fantastic and I was benefiting soon after taking my first tablet.
I have been taking the high strength tablets (one a day) and at first, I’ll admit I was skeptical – you put aloe vera on your boo boos, not in your mouth! I’m going to the toilet daily instead of twice a week, my stomach is flatter because I’m not bloated and uncomfortable after lunch and I don’t appear to be retaining water like I used to. This is a common complaint for women, particularly at ‘that time of the month’.
I can’t make any promises that this is for everyone and if you are already on medication for other ailments then do speak with your doctor before you take any supplements.
All I can say is that Aloe Vera tablets have made a massive difference to me. I didn’t change my diet and I’ve not done any exercise in the last 2 months as life has been rather busy! If only I had considered earlier that my final few lbs to lose were down to IBS and it could be counteracted with a simple table, I would have tried this yonks ago!
Funnily enough, I was able to wear my ‘target weight’ jeans last Friday with no gross hip and belly over hang. This I consider to be a small victory and I fully intend to continue taking the aloe vera tablets for as long as I see the benefit.
Wow, I’ve never heard about this being good for bloatedness, but from your post it sounds like you are the proof that it is! Thanks for sharing this info
I wonder if this would work for diarrhea as well. My sister has problems with her stomach (pain after eating, gas and diarrhea) I am going to research this some more and see if it might help, Thanks!
Now that was a very interesting post indeed. I guess the only question is would it be just as effective to use the real plant instead of the tablet?
Wow guys what a great tip! I’ve been told that I could be suffering from IBS, and recently things have flared up again and I’m feeling dreadfully bloated. I will give these a try. I’m always looking for natural remedies. With drugs (and I mean the medication kind), you never know what the long-term side effects are. Do you recommend a particular brand?
This article makes a lot of sense. Aloe Vera has helped a lot of things, but I didnt think that weight loss was one of them.
i am also suffering from irritable bowel and this disease really pisses me off~;,
It’s worth a try.
thanks.
