(or so) of Aloe Vera before meals really helps coat one's esophagus and throat. If you have esophagitis or Barrett's esophagus caused by GERD, this is for you. Before Thanksgiving, my esophagus was getting worse by the day. My chest was sensitive to touch, and I was getting a tickling cough. After only a week of taking aloe vera gel, my cough is gone and the burning in my esophagus is going down. My chest still feels sensitive, but not like before. I also think aloe vera helps acid reflux, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts on this or any other GERD/esophagitis treatment? Let me know at shub542@yahoo.com. Also, if anyone knows how to get FRESH aloe vera gel, PLEASE e-mail me as it would be very helpful." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/barretts_syndrome.html&name=RN_29537 /CURES/barretts_syndrome.rss3 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 06:34:13 EDT John from Ft. Defiance, Va writes: "barrets esophagus and acid reflux I along with my father suffer from heartburn. I'm 60 and he's passed away. I had terrible pains in my chest for years but thought that was the way it was. Went on a flight, that night had great thirst, drank oj in the am and had a bad esophogal rupture, nearly fatal. Cauterized and ok. Put on nexium, full fealing, then protonix about 8 years ago. Then got rocky mtn. spotted fever. At first not diagnosed even though I'd seen the red bullseye. Thought it was lymes but that was negative. Finally put on antibiotics which made me extremely ill, nausea etc. Still had problems and went through another round. Terrible nausea. This went on for about 1 1/2 years and still current. At some point I became extremely nauseated by protonix and all other similar drugs. I'd rather take a chance on dying from barrets than live like that. Any alternatives to nexium, protonix, prevacid, kapidex? Any info greatly appreciated. My gastro dr. says there's no other way to go.

Specialist prescribed me high dose of Prevacid and she told me that I have to take this for the rest of my life and is only chance to prevent cancer of esophagus in the future. I know this drug is dangerous for many reasons,but I have no idea if there is something else to help me.

I have taken, for 20 years Excedrin to treat headaches and migraines. There have been other meds taken over the years as well, both RX and OTC. Approximately 5 years ago I was diagnosed with GERD after an \"attack\" so severe that I had to seek treatment at the ER. It took me until about 2 years ago to figure out that the meds are at least in part contributing to my condition. I am scared now because after a respite from the disease for a few years, GERD is back and in full attack mode. I walk around all day every day with a feeling like I have a peanut butter sandwich STUCK in my throat. I feel stuff backing up in my throat. Faltering voice, sore throat, hoarseness, etc. etc. I am SUPER intrigued about the ACV and hopefully will be trying to purchase some either tomorrow or over the weekend. My insurance company is not allowing Nexium, which my doctor has prescribed; the insurance company will allow Previcid, but even with insurance consideration I fear that I will not be able to afford it. The only concern I have is the repeated comments I see on other web sites stating that individuals should not self treat or attempt to self treat GERD. I am at risk for Barrett\'s syndrome (or whatever it is called). Does anyone have a comment on the preceding paragraph concerning self treatment, or can anyone offer advice? Thank you and GOD BLESS!"
