Used The Papaya Enzymes, Aloe Vera For Acid Reflux. Doctor Stopped Prilosec. Has Papaya Enzymes, Aloe Vera Any Side Effect?
Hi- I just started the papaya enzymes and aloe vera for acid reflux- my doctor stopped Prilosec after 15 months due to a reaction to long term use!! It appears the aloe and papaya enzymes are working well past month but these side effects I just read about this new route are appearing as scary! Just decided today to start research after what happened with the prilosec!! What is your take on aloe and papaya!! Is anything worth it for the long run!! Thanks
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!there can not be an effect without side effects!
The same is true with these traditional potions.
They are claimed to be side effect free but they are capable of inducing bad taste, flatulence, abdominal pain, nausea, reduced appetite and raised blood pressure.
Still these preparations are used but without much trials.
You should be very watchful while on this type of treatment.
If any increased problem is felt please stop these medicines.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
