hey, yeah i have tried that and other aloe, you know its all natural. there is also aloelite and aloe mp plus. this stuff won't hurt you at all.it does work very well. i have some form if ibs i think, well i'm getting tested end of this month. but my dad as ulcerative colitis and he takes that and it works very well for him. at first you take 5 pills in the morning and 4 pills at night. the thing is you have to be willing to pay between 137 and 180 for these pills. you get 270 in a bottle....david
