Ive just started using freedom brand aloe gel and have found it helps get rid of my gastritis. i dont have crohns but my hubby does so i have him on it. so far hes not had a lot diarrhea but well see if it helps. i chose it because of a few reasons it aids in nutrient absorbtion, reduces inflammation and helps cleanse the colon and intestines. if it doesnt bother him we will continue using it
