Can Drinking Aloe Vera Juice Cause Bloating And Stomach Discomfort?

I have been drinking aloe vera juice as I have read that the health benefits from this plant are great. My question, can drinking this juice actually cause stomach bloating and discomfort? I have not changed anything with my diet with the exception of this juice and have occasionally experienced extreme stomach bloating and pressure.

Hi it might be due to gastritis.

Certain conditions and activities may increase your risk for developing gastritis
