Is this product very laxative? I usually have a problem with this.

It does not have that effect on me. It is very uplifting and it is somewhat helpful in the digestion area, but not diarrhetic to me. You'll just have to try it yourself to find out. It is a very healthy addition to a diet.

It doesn't dissolve easily and it does require some stirring. I use it at the office, so it doesn't bother me at all.

if you plan on drinking it, you will definitely gag. I only use it as a lubricant for my razor blades, keeps them sharp longer. some people take it as a laxative, i cannot handle it, miralax works wonders for me, take it everyday mixed with whatever liquid you prefer, even coffee :-)

I have to be honest and tell you that I threw out this particular package after putting the erythritol in another container. The other brand I have in the cabinet (Wholesome sweeteners Zero) says 6g. As long as the ingredients list reads erythritol only (no other additives or mixes of sugar subs), I am not picky about brands. I go for good price and prime eligibility. That said, if you do some research on sugar alcohols, you will find that the carbs are considered negligible for erythritol. It does not affect blood sugar levels (non-glycemic). It is absorbed in the intestines but comes out almost unchanged. BTW, I use 1 tablespoon (like things sweet) in my morning coffee (giant cup), and it definitely has the laxative effect some sources indicate.:-)

I never had that problem so I can not really answer your question but I will be ordering another bottle soon. It is otherwise very gentle and absorbs readily. I am very happy with this product.

There is a natural component in aloe vera gel that causes a laxative response. That action is different for each person. I can take two and it does not effect me. I would suggest taking one to start with if you are concerened. I have not experience pain or discomfort from them. I do not experience Gerd and my upper and lower digestive tract feels soothed. I had gall bladder surgery a few ago and the gel really helped me digest food better.

Your issues don't sound that out of the ordinary. I've been using this product for months. Always the same results. Pills smell like low tide at the beach. Slight nausea when taken on an empty stomach. Which results in horrendously smelly burps. Like I've just eaten sushi made out of cat food. But overall, the positive physiological results outweigh the negative psychological results that come from getting dirty looks on the bus in the morning. I know the instructions say to take them on an empty stomach, but I haven't noticed any kind of decrease in efficacy if/when I take them with food. So, do whatever works best for you.

1st of all it is not MY product.. that being said, This product does NOT have caffeine. I am using it with a Garcinia Cambogia and Raspberry Ketones from NaturaPrime..( no caffeine in it either ) The weight is melting off me and my husband effortlessly. It is not the kind of fiber that reacts harshly and puts you in the bathroom for hours on end. The 2 products together flush the fat out of your system in a very mild way. Easiest weight loss I have ever tried.

There is more to it than just a laxative. In fact, I have no need for laxatives. This prebiotic along with a probiotic helps my system to be in balance and behave regularly. Gut flora is important to the whole system and this is why I take it. I highly recommend it.

I have not experienced this even though I don't use this product like I once did. I still maintained a descent result and I'm happy with it to this day! Good luck

By itself it's awful. I mix it in some water & while it is certainly herbal & earthy, it's not bad. My husband mixes it in some orange juice and then it's actually pretty good.

It's a bit absurd how off most of these answers are. The inner fillet, just as it implies, contains juice made only from the inner part of the leaf. The whole leaf version includes the part just below the skin that acts as a supposedly powerful laxative and, as such, should help with bowel movements/constipation. Unless you happen to really need a laxative, I'd recommend sticking to the inner fillet version. Jesse Ejsmont almost had a correct answer except, it is not a diuretic, since that would mean it makes you urinate and it's not particularly known to have that effect. I've never needed a laxative and haven't tried the whole leaf version. So, I can't speak for how effective it is. It's a bit absurd how off most of these answers are.

LOL has inherent laxative type properties But is not classified as a laxative. It is the natural derived plant products that produces the desired laxative results. I believe it is much more milder than your typical laxative product purchased in the store. It works great especially if you have celiac disease And suffer from the Gastro-intestinal problems. I have no medical training or experience I am just a user of the product and quite satisfied with it. The Mason Brand aloe product I believe is the best on the market today and it's priced very competitively. I hope my comments are helpful to you in making your decision. Best of health!
