Good friend of mine told me the success of drinking aloe vera juice for her acid reflux condition. She swears by it, said she has no more heartburn/acid reflux after a few months of drinking it.
Anyone on CC familiar with it or currently drinking it? For what I have read, it has a host of other benefits. What’s your experience?
There’s research indicating that some aloe products, when taken orally, may cause cancer, at least in experimental animals. But I don’t know which products. It may depend on whether the product contains or doesn’t contain aloin.

My brother likes this beverage so I bought him 12 small bottles which I will wrap for his holiday gift (he’s someone who has too much “stuff” so we want to give him a consumable he will finish). I’ve tried it and it’s ok—a bit unusual in texture. I prefer it well-chilled.
@Marian, thanks for the link. Does not seem product specific. Manufacturers are not required to label aloin concentration in Aloe Vera products, well, it is a tough decision. Based on what I read from reviews, most people seem to benefit from the juice, especially those with GERD problem.
Sam’s Club and Costco carry small 12-pack cases of the small bottles at reasonable prices.
