Exopolysaccharide from Wikipedia
"Exopolysaccharides generally consist of monosaccharides and some non-carbohydrate substituents (such as acetate, pyruvate, succinate, and phosphate)"

Does the soothing action of demulcents outweigh the inflammation stimulated by polysaccharides?

(At our house, the answer is NO!)

Does aloe vera reduce Crohn's symptoms?

"Dietary Factors in the Modulation of IBD: Aloe Vera" from Medscape Today News
"Aloe vera is used by some patients with IBD. Few studies have been performed evaluating the effectiveness of aloe vera in the management of IBD. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of aloe vera in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis demonstrated improved clinical symptoms (P = .01) and histologic scores (P = .03) in patients taking aloe vera vs placebo. The exact mechanism of action of aloe vera is unclear, but may include antioxidant and immunosuppressive effects. In vitro studies on human colon mucosa have demonstrated that aloe vera gel inhibits prostaglandin E2 and IL-8."
