I went for a second opinion and found out that one of the doctors in my primary physician's office had the same problem like I do and he also takes Aloe Vera juice. I went to see a different GI doctor, he listened to my problem, and wanted me to have an endoscopy and see if there is any progress for just taking the Aloe. The result came out very good and the Barrett Syndrome I was told was not as bad as it was and was advised to continue taking Aloe. I was so relieved!
Now I shared my Aloe experience with my friend who had worst acid reflux than I had and she was so thankful because she no longer suffers from bad acid reflux. My doctor also mentioned that all of us have acid reflux it is just a matter of how bad it can be.
For all who suffers acid reflux, I recommend Aloe Vera juice that is pure aloe extract and balances stomach acid naturally. It works! Now, I start reintroducing the food that I love and it does not bother me no more!

Hi,
I have a question. When do you take the Aloe? before meals, after or in between.
Thank you.

How much aloe vera should I take for barretts?Replied By Vera (New York Ny) on 10/10/2015
I have the exact thing you have and the doc put me on omeprazol... Which I'm not happy about. Do I have to stop the omeprazol first before starting the aloe Vera ? I would appreciate your comments!Replied By Angel (Knoxville, Tn) on 10/24/2015
I had seen this & I went out to buy the aloe vera juice. But its not working for me - if anything the pains worse.So much so I cant stand it. I literally feel like my esphogas is on fire.Replied By Yvonne (Orlando, Fl) on 01/10/2016
I am suffering from barrett's esophagus for about 6 months now. I'm on Ranitidine 300 before I go to bed and Pantoprazole 40 mg every morning. I am also trying to eat healthier to avoid getting anymore terrible heart burn and pain. About how many cups of Aloe Vera juice should I be taking a day and should I stop the medication I'm taking?Replied By David (Sharpsburg, Ga) on 01/18/2016
How much should be taken and how often?Replied By Betsy (Florida) on 01/25/2016
Are you using pure aloe or aloe with citric acid in it? Most of them have citric acid and I would think that could aggravate your esophagus more.Replied By John (South Williamsport Pa) on 01/27/2016

How do we have to take the aloe Vera juice? Two times a day or three times a day? Before or after meals?Replied By Victoria (Pennsylvania) on 04/30/2016
I had worse burning from the Aloe Vera juice, too. I have Barrett's Esophagus so I can't afford to worsen my condition.Replied By Mark (Rhode Isaland) on 05/05/2016
Hi I just started taking aloe after being diagnosed with barretts. I am on Protonix but would like to stop. I have been starting with less than 1 oz of aloe and have been just drinking it straight not mixed. I was curious if you get the same benefits if you mix it wit water or other liquid.Replied By Gonzalo (Sc) on 11/18/2016
The aloe vera juice doesn't work. You have to buy the plant itself and scrape the inside. I mix it with apple juice in a blender. 1 part aloe 3 part apple. It worked at first but it isn't really working anymore. I cannot deter from my very strict diet. Meat: Only Salmon. Most often cooked with veggies either in a pan with olive and coconut oil. Veggies: broccoli, mix greens, okra and mushrooms. I make smoothies. Banana, Strawberries and avocadoes. I add some frozen desserts, non-dairy (coconut and almonds). Of course, you can add a little bit of this or that, but these are your main ingredients. The problem with the frozen desserts is that they contain sugar for the most part. I get away from this and I am in hell. And even this doesn't work. If you want a little something that sticks to your ribs, yellow grits or brown rice.Replied By Linda (Huntsville, Al) on 02/27/2017
You have to take pure aloe vera, not the juice. It will work so much better.Replied By Dave Harding (Fair Lawn Nj) on 04/03/2017
Do not take any aloe with citric acid. Find an aloe juice that is pure aloe.Replied By Wanda (Washington) on 07/02/2017
Citric acid is a natural thing that is in almost everything we eat and is needed by every cell in our body.Replied By Sue (Pennsylvania) on 10/22/2020
I was wondering what kind of aloe juice are you taking?
