How To Overcome My Chronic Constipation Problem?

Hello - my adult daughter has chronic constipation and the only thing that works for her, she says, is drinking aloe Vera juice. She easily drinks 4 large jugs of it per week. Can too much aloe cause other problems in the body? She has an infection in her mouth that won t go away.

Hi, too much of aloe juice can harm kidneys and is also known to result in cancers due to its high latex content. i suggest she moves over to alternatives like psyllium and other fiber products. she can even have lactulose syrup if they dont work. Hope this helped.
