My husband has acid reflex though he has mild one so that he doesn't have to take medicine. He would feel his stomach doesn't feel right after eating certain food like oatmeal, bagel and steak. Because it only happens sometimes, he didn't bother to go see a doctor and didn't even know what it was until when he had choking sensation while he had dinner with his friends. He felt his food doesn't go down to the stomach and just stuck in the middle of the road then bubble started coming out from his mouth. after he spit out the form he felt better.
His friend saw him and said. "You have acid reflex!"
You see a lots of commercial on TV for medicine for acid reflex like Tums, Zantac, Prirosec.. Seems like a lot of Americans suffer from this condition. Coming from Japan I would get heartburn just seeing those greasy burgers on commercials.
My husband knows a friend who also suffered from acid reflex worse than his and he feels much better after taking aloe vera juice everyday. My husband started taking this George's Aloe Vera Aloe Vera Liquid about 1.75 fl oz (about 50 ml) once or twice a day, once in the morning and sometimes at night too, and his acid reflex got much better and doesn't happen after eating oatmeal or bagel anymore!
