Aloe Vera and Crohn's disease

I was diagnosed in February 2003 with Crohn's disease. It showed on the biopsy that the doctor took and I also undergo a Hemicolectomy, the Sigmoid colon was been removed. The Pathology results also showed Crohn's disease. After that I had trouble with my colon, cramps, bloating, diarrhea. I then went to a Gastroenterologist. He did several coloscopies on me and every one was clean. The last one was October last year. He said he think the laboratory made a mistake and that I haven't had Crohn's disease. I also started to drink aloe about 2 years ago and my colon is much better. I am confuse because the pathology results and the biopsies showed I had Crohn's disease but the doctor think different. Can it be that I am cured or that the Crohn's disease was only in the Sigmoid colon and that the ale also played a role.
