Aga says
When a celiac person has diarrhea, is it a good idea to drink aloe vera juice?
Elana says
Aga, it is good for me to do so, but not certain about the impact on others in this situation.
Ayda says
Hi, this is a great recipe idea. can you recommend a way to make aloe Vera juice from a fresh plant? I haveabig plant that I would like to benefit from using it. thanks
Elana says
Ayda, I haven’t tried that.
Misty says
YES! It’s best from the leaf. Be sure to cut off or rinse off with cold water the yellow part of the skin before use(causes diarrhea) and to refrigerate unused portions immediately in an airtight container for up to 5 days:)
Elana says
Thanks Misty!

Sounds like the Aloe Vera Juice is right up my ally, as far as hydration needs. I will be searching for that beverage at my local health food store.
Elana says
Elizabeth, I hope you love it as much as we do!
Fran says
Can you use the aloe Vera straight from the plant?
Elana says
Fran, I am going to try that soon :-)
Claudia Mello says
Yes, aloe can be harvested fresh. Cut a few inches of leaf, and with a sharp knife remove outer green layer, and rinse. Soak aloe gel in a cup of water in fridge overnight. The resulting water can be used as gel, or else ( if you have a hardy gut) blenderize the whole shebang. In summer here in florida, the water turns a gorgeous orchid- pink color by morning. Thanks for reminding me to use my aloe in a tasty drink!
Elana says
Claudia, you’re welcome!
Bernadette Budniakiewicz says
I drank aloe vera juice when I first got diagnosed with acid reflux. It helped me a lot! But anything more than 1-2 OUNCES in a day would give me screaming diarrhea, so my eyes are bugging out at the sight (quantity) of your recipe! You mention it relieves constipation but it could be too much for those who are regular.
Elana says
Bernadette, this recipe serves two :-)
Rachel says
Hi Bernadette- you might try Aloe “inner filet” or aloe “gel” juice rather than “whole leaf” because the outer leave of the plant is highly cathartic (helps constipation but can cause diarrhea) whereas the inner gel is not as strong as a cathartic in the same way as the outer leaf.
Noz says
Good evening. I was wondering, do you have information or experience on doing this with Aloe Vera directly from the plant?
Thank you
Elana says
Noz, I haven’t tried that but I plan on it :-)
