Can Drinking Aloevera Juice Act As A Stool Softener?
i was told by my doc to take a stool softner in prep for my surgery april 5 . i was looking up some info on stool softners and the chemicals that are in them and chose to look for an alternative and found out that aloe vera juice would be just as good. just curious if this is correct. for your information, i will be taking a large cyst out... possibly a mesenteric cyst or omentum. thank you all the info would be great!
