Is Aloe Vera Juice Good To Help Heal Gastritis?
Question: Is aloe vera juice good to help heal gastritis? Have had a endoscopy and was told mild case towards end of XXXXXXX Eating a bland diet and on nexium and sucralfate and still having burning pain in different places in stomach. No hietal hernia or acid reflux. Doc says all we can do. Doing reiki treatments and hypnosis. Having anxiety and up to 100mg of zoloft(been on it for a week)
Brief Answer:
Supportive care. No for aloe vera
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Gastritis may be resilient sometimes and takes longer than usual specially in people with type A personalities ( anxious and depressed patients like you) .
As far as aloe vera is concerned, its not labelled for its use in gastritis and i am afraid it won't be helpful. Gastritis takes time to heal. All you need to do is continue medications with compliance and more importantly is modify diet and lifestyle and eradicate the triggers that could cause it in first place like hot spicy foods, processed and canned foods, alcohol, smoking, beverages , soda, fatty products, over eating, coffee etc.
You should prefer fibrous diet like vegetables and fruits and take more fluids. Take yogurt and peppermint in every meal as both will help the symptoms and improve the recovery. Exercise daily for 45 minutes at least. Hang in there. These symptoms will resolve.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
