I have both but not that particular brand.

What would you say about Aloe Vera liquids? How has yours been? What is your schedule for taking it?

I actually use that exact same one, it works best for me when I mix about 2 cap fulls in a glass of water first thing in the morning (when I'm empty ). It helps with the hollow/gnawing pain and it kinda refreshes my stomach. Just a lil warning if your the type that burps alot you'll get a weird aftertaste with this.

Going to take a cap full tonight before bed. Just had some chamomille tea.

I bought the Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Formula last night and had a 2TBSP shot of it right before head (along with sleeping on my left side the whole night) and I did not have any feeling of discomfort in my stomach in the early morning hour. I also had some camomille tea just before bed too. I went through the whole day and night without taking a PPI. I took another shot of the Aloe Vera this morning before eating my toast with honey. Then had one Pepzin GL. Plan on taking a Probiotic in a short bit to take things slow and not throw to much on my gut.

thats good! you found something that helps ! pretty much anything that protects the stomach when its most vulnerable(at night...between meals...stress times...etc.) will show you results Try a big bowl of oatmeal for dinner youll see a difference too. if i stick to my diet/supps im fine and taken at the right times too!

i was also adviced to take aloe vera but in its natural form...make it myself supposedly works better as a coating agent....at this point i think sucralfate w/o ppi is the best lasts 4-6 hours. But if its working that good for you try to make it yourself . High quality slippery elm in powder/natural form works better than the caps for example.

I usually add honey to my oatmeal but was thinking doing oatmeal for dinner with honey this evening. Have you ever tried Prevalite Powder? My primary care doctor prescribed me it for 30 days in case it is bile reflux. When my GI doctor did a endoscopy they showed a some yellow mucus but since I was already on Omoprazole he did not want to prescribe me a med. Is Prevalite Powder a PPI? If it is then I would prefer not to take it.

i think its something to protect you from bile in case you have bile reflux. dont panic if you have bile reflux it doesnt have to be permanent, this can also go away once you get the inflammation down. Everything is connected in the gi tract one thing will affect the other etc...thats why some get side effects with ppi and some not. I dont have bile reflux. I just have a super weak stomach destroyed by h pylori, my tummy can't handle too much acidic stuff even fruits !

Sucralfate also protects you from bile btw so does slippery elm. Try oatmeal at night and if you tolerate honey throw some honey in there too oatmeal will coat your stomach from all the acid for a few hours and give your stomach a rest, youll wake up much better the next day.

I did take my Prevalite Powder this morning. Will do that for the 30 days to see if that makes a difference. I confirmed with the pharmacist that it is not a PPI or H2 blocker. Going on day four with no PPI or H2 blocker.
