Ok.... I was at the store and was thinking about buying some mineral oil.. for my, um.. back up problem.. Next to the fiber and mineral oil products there was a big bottle of "Aloe Juice"....

Since it was on the same shelf, I'm assuming it's for the same problem as the oil and fiber..

Have any of you used it before? I wonder what it count as, since it's a juice...

Ew, ick, yeah, I tried that once, but not for "back-end" issues. I think I'd read that if you down 2 Tblspoons a day, or something along those lines, it helps with weight loss. It was horrible (and didn't work). I don't remember anything else about it, though. (?)

All I can tell you is my mother in law has it and it looks like green hair gel with lots of big chunks of pulp floating in it! She has it for 'those issues' but she also brings home a new product every week and sings its praises till she realizes it doesn't work.
I'd stick with the mineral oil, Metamucil or Benefiber.. more reliable and MUCH more pleasant!

I tried a bottle of it when I was doing low carb. It tastes really nasty and I don't think that it did what people were stating it was supposed to do. Anyway, I never bought anymore. Sometimes when I have that problem, I just eat an extra fat or maybe two depending on how desperate I am and then that usually gets things moving.

Sounds like I did a good thing by passing it up!
