Has anyone tried aloe vera or ginger tea for treatment? Did it work for you? I have heard both can help, but didn't have much luck with the aloe vera....

" I do the aloe and also take omega 3
Since I am on many other meds, I'm not sure what is working but right now I'm doing ok.
The aloe was a suggestion from my massage therapist. It sure doesn't hurt.
I wish you well "

" I had a problem with aloe juice - it made my diarrhea symptoms worse, but I want to start it again in a month or so once the prednisone has had time to work.
I love ginger... but found it way too harsh for my intestines. I'm wondering if it's one of those remedies that work for the upset stomachs of those people who don't usually have upset stomachs (ie non-Crohnies)?
Peppermint tea works quite well though for gas and intestinal-type indigestion (rather than stomach gurgles). Good luck! "
