Well, it depends on the person and also on the form of aloe vera you are talking about. It is quite risky to eat aloe vera from the actual plant, as the outer most inner layer of an aloe vera leaf is laxative (this part looks kind of brown). The part that you can eat and apply is the clear gel part that is on the inside. It takes some skill to slice an aloe vera leaf properly to get the least amount of the laxative part. For this reason, you should only buy good quality aloe vera drinks that have had the leaves processed properly. So check the quality of the drink before you take it. One reputable brand is Forever Living.

more than likely they picked up a stomach ache from somewhere, or something. drinking aloe vera is a common naturalpathic remedy for those with very sensitive tummys. it soothes on the inside they same way it works for burns and such
