IBS relief, anyone else tried aloe vera juice?

I've had IBS for years now. I had the lap nissan surgery several months ago, and although it 100% cured the GERD problems, it seemed to worsen my IBS.
I've been travelling for the past few months and the IBS got so bad that I went to see a Naturopathic doctor.
I have been taking three tablespoons of Aloe Vera juice twice a day for three weeks now, and could not have imagined better relief.
Has anyone else tried Aloe Vera Juice, did you experience any relief?
I have been to so many doctors about my IBS, and was told so many times that I had one of the worst cases they had seen. (you could always feel my colon is spasm)
I'd recommend Aloe Vera Juice to anyone, I was completly sceptical, as nothing else has ever worked before. There is tons of documentation on the internet with IBS sufferers never having problems again.

Question for you - does your IBS flare-up from time to time? I'm going through a bad phase right now. I've had chronic diarrhea, sometimes watery, for 5 weeks. My stomach gurgles a lot after eating and then the diarrhea follows about 2-3 hrs later. I've had no blood or fevers and not much lower abdominal pain (have had pain in the stomach area though). I've lost some weight which could be a result of both the diarrhea and loss of apetite (eating seems to trigger diarrhea). I'm in the process of waiting for a colonoscopy (fun fun) and gastroscopy and am kind of nervous about having an IBD. The Doctor doesn't seem too concerned - he said it could be a bad case of IBS. I just can't imagine this kind of severity (going on every day) to be IBS. My IBS in the past never really interfered with anything - I more or less was just sensitive to different foods and seldom had diarrhea. Any insight would be really helpful.
thanks in advance - Sara M
As far as the diareah I suggest using caltrate. Its a brand of calcium. Start with one a day and work your way up to no more than 12oomg per day. Without this my husband could not control the diareah. Also start taking acidopholis and bifodolfolis. You can usually find them in a pill together. Your body is washing away these wonderful bateria and you really need them. Try these and see how much it changes things. My husband was amazed. I hope theey help you also.
