Just a couple of um, warnings here...first, many people that have had multiple surgeries are allergic to latex. If you're allergic to latex you're at *very* high risk of having a severe, life threatening response to aloe vera. If you have allergies at all, please talk to your doctor before taking aloe vera internally,esp. if you have no previous experience with this drug.

Also, if you take a stimulant laxative when you have a bowel obstruction you run a good risk of having your bowel rupture. Then you could die.

Dying is not good. Please talk to your physician about the use of stimulant laxatives if you have frequent obstructions or stricture.

Home self treatment of a bowel obstruction is generally not advisable as you should be closely monitored for signs of shock. If you try home remedies and wait too long to seek medical help you may go into shock and die. Again, death is not good, try to avoid it. Nasogastic tubes are bad, but death is worse.
