Therefore, if you take too much aloe vera at one time, it may cause adverse reactions in the gastrointestinal tract, such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even bloody stools. In severe cases, it may also cause kidney damage. Aloe vera can also cause congestion in the female pelvic organs and promote uterine movement. Eating aloe vera in the early stages of pregnancy can easily cause abdominal pain, increased bleeding, and even the risk of miscarriage. In addition, aloe vera may cause allergic skin reactions when used externally, resulting in discomfort such as redness, swelling, itching and pain. Therefore, pregnant women should be careful when eating aloe vera in the early stages of pregnancy.
