Ok, that was a little weak, I know ... "aloe ... anyone there" "Hallo -- or Hello... blah blah blah... " As a wise man once said (my husband) ... they're not funny if you have to explain them! So, aloe vera juice ... what's up with aloe vera juice? Ok, now I feel like I'm sounding like Jerry Seinfeld! But seriously, I'm curious to hear if anyone out there has had any luck treating their reflux with aloe vera juice.
It also seems like the brand is important. I've tried a few different brands. One was an aloe vera gel ... and let me just tell you how nasty that tasted! (pretty nasty) I'd read a testimonial from someone online who swore aloe vera gel was the answer to healing their reflux. I'll try it! And I did! Yuck ... and sadly, didn't heal the reflux. I also learned during that time, that while aloe vera juice can be a bit gelatinous on it's own, stuff is added to the "gel" to make it more "gel-like" -- why someone would want that, I can't begin to tell you. BUT I've read so much about the health benefits of aloe vera juice for digestion, so I've tried other forms/brands. One brand that seemed like water, but went down smoothly and the label says it actually IS aloe vera juice and not just a bunch of water. Another tasted kind of citrusy -- so it felt like it was exacerbating the problem. Not sure that it did, but it didn't feel great going down. Really curious to hear if anyone has had great luck with this and if so, what was the brand?? I'll share if you share!
All this being said, it seems clear there is no magic potion ... although I do wish there was! One must do the due diligence and find out what's going on with one's body that's creating the situation. This being said, I'm feeling like I'm finding things that are working and may be the secret to what my body has been trying to tell me through the reflux. It's fascinating ... and hopefully, successful! I'll keep you posted!
