Anyone use Aloe Vera juice for acid reflux and / or heartburn?

I have heard of this, however I don't know how much to drink in a day and what brands to recommend.

Hopefully someone in the wellness forum will have answers for you.

You may want to do a search on the forum to check if this has been discussed previously❤️

I did drink this for quite a good while.  I purchased large jugs of it from Walmart.  I didn't notice that it helped at all, so i stopped.  I gave it 6 months or so and I saw no improvement.

My DH drinks a juice glass full every night and it really helps him.He used to have do much indigestion.

My husband likes the one from trader joes.There is also a sweetened version that he buys st Asian grocery stores and he mixes them half and half.

I have never tried aloe vera for that. I stopped eating after 7 PM. Certain foods I know cause a problem I only eat earlier in the day. I eat a good breakfast with protein & eat fruit for lunch/during afternoon & smaller protions for dinner. I take Andrew Lessman's Ultimate Friendly Flora & his Digestive enzymes & don't have problems now.

DH started taking Betaine HCL before his meals. I have noticed he is not eating Tums all the time like he used to so it's helping him. You can Google betaine hcl challenge test to read all about it.

I tried everything out there for acid reflux and nothing helped but Nexium. I'm off Nexium now simply because I weaned myself off the drug and stopped eating the foods and drink that caused the problem to begin with.
