Anyone take aloe vera for GERD/acid reflux?

What do you take and how do you take it.

And does it work?

Specifically looking for things that dont have artificial sweetners in them

It didn't work for me at all, sorry

I tried it but found it didn't really work for severe symptoms. Make sure you try a good, pure one, some our very low percentage of aloe Vera when you look at them. I am finding kefir first thing in the morning is working OK but my symptoms aren't severe at the moment.

Im on ant acids as well.

Sorry I realised my awful typo in that last post *are

I was taking alongside omprazole when I had a bad flare up.

I have had to significantly change my diet and the time I eat too.

Your symptoms are severe at the moment but kefir is helping?

Er ant acids or omeprazole? Maybe some peppermint tea

I was on omaprazole for around 8 weeks but I've just started to reduce when I take it ( I took it on Saturday knowing I had work Xmas party and would be eating late/having a glass of wine) I'm not sure if it's a coincidence with the kefir or that my symptoms have improved enough to stop taking the omaprazole or not. I take a glass every morning and eat a kefir yogurt after dinner. I also don't eat after 5.30PM and cut out acidic foods so I guess all of this is helping. I still am getting issues with regurgitation but my scope was clear and I am waiting a barium swallow as they think my issue may be a hiatus hernia.
