: Yes! Try taking 1/4 cup of aloe vera gel for reflux and hemorrhoids. Apply topically to hemorrhoids every time you have a bowel movement. I was just diagnosed about a month ago with GERD. My doctor gave me a huge list of things not to
: eat(unfortunately most of my favorites are on the list) She hasn't put me on any drugs yet, as i want to try
: to control the reflux with diet(yeah i know it can't be reversed w/o surgery) But I was wondering,
: are there any foods I SHOULD be eating to calm dampen the acid? (I also was diagnosed with hemorrhoids,
: so I have to eat a lot of fiber) Thanks for any advice.
