Yes you can! But within SCD circles there’s confusion about it. At a medical lecture at Oxford University where Dr. Sherry Rogers MD was the keynote speaker, Elaine Gottschall was a guest speaker and spoke about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Afterwards we mentioned to Elaine the different laboratory tests we initiated and their grossly different measurements. She tarred all aloe vera with the same brush despite her motto being ‘the devil is in the detail’.
From privately given feedback we know that people who have inflammations or have wounds to repair, respond favourably to adding Aloeride Extra Strong to their diet. Very satisfactory outcomes happen because of the unique polysaccharide profile of Aloeride, the vastly larger quantity of working molecules compared to other aloe products and the absence of laxative molecules.Properly performed aloe vera research by Bland in 1985 shows that it improves your bacterial flora [6 out of 10 improve stool microbiology], it reduces your gut permeability [significant drop in Indican levels], it reduces stool specific gravity and it improves the gut pH [creating a favourable environment for good bacteria]. Note that aloe vera sugar molecules (glucomannans, polymannoses, glycoproteins) are linked in beta-configuration and these links cannot be broken by digestive enzymes. Via pinocytosis these sugar molecules enter the blood stream uncleaved. They do not become fodder for bad bacteria like the uncleaved, alpha-linked food poly/tri/disaccharides do (which is what the Specific Carbohydrate Diet is all about).Aloeride Extra Strong has a proven, exemplary polysaccharide profile and this, together with an exemplary amount of working ingredients, which makes it ideal for people with digestive disorders including those on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. No reason why the two cannot reinforce one another.
Warning: Read the label! Doug has ulcerative colitis, found a web article not on our website and decided to give Aloeride a go. He started off at a high dosage for 180mg capsules and didn’t read the instructions on the pack he’d bought (our bigger Aloeride Extra Strong vegicapsules containing 426mg). So Doug took 1,278mg a day straight out of the gate. For any person any significant change of diet can affect stool consistency and so it did for Doug. Fragile bowel ulcers + suddenly a bulkier bowel content = friction = risk of discomfort and bleeding ulcers… predictable! Yet all Doug concluded was that Elaine Gottschall was right… whereas in reality he just mishandled a good opportunity.
