I'm interested in trying Aloe Vera juice, my mother has been takeing it for a few months and has seen some good effects. However I've read conflicting advice about taking it whilst pregnant. As it's possible for me to become pregnant I'm concerned about whether it's safe to start taking it now. Has anyone here taken Aloe Vere juice in these circunstances?

I just found this on a search, and it seems to be just fine for pregnancy....I found this at www.aloelife.com

No other aloe vera products worldwide contain the quality, potency and freshness of our aloe vera juice extract, tableted aloe vera or personal skin care products than Aloe Life. Aloe vera is great for children, adults, seniors, pregnant women and pets! Note: Aloe Life products are safe to take with other medications or protocols.

Bumping this up here for a discussion.

I used to drink Aloe Vera juice frequently, but haven't for a couple of years now. I'd like to start drinking it again, for a some personal health reasons, for which I'm certain it would help; however, I'm breastfeeding full time with no intention on stopping.

Do any of you have any comments or advice for drinking it or not drinking it while breastfeeding?

...there seems to be much conflicting information about potential side affects.

Thoughts?

My book that usually has pretty reasonable warnings (Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Balch)says not to take Aloe Vera internally during pregnancy. You'll likely find conflicting info because using it externally while pregnant would be fine. No warnings against the use while breastfeeding.

Actions of taking it interanally does mention it acts as a laxitive.. that alone may be why you shouldn't take it while pregnant.
