Question 1

is aloe vera juice good for diverticulitis?

Accepted Answer

No: It won't hurt but will not help. Diverticulitis is an infection around a diverticula and needs to be treated with antibiotics. If they do not resolve the infection, then surgery is required. To reduce the formation of diverticula and possibly prevent diverticulitis, dietary fiber is needed. The simplest way to get enough fiber is to take metamucil or an equivalent  daily.

Question 2

Question 3

help please! is aloe vera juice good for acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

No: It does not have significant benefit for this problem.

Question 4

is aloe vera juice good for drinking? it helps me feel less bloated from food.

Accepted Answer

Not sure yet.: Aloe vera has several components. Research has it that the gel component is possibly safe for ingestion, but the latex component is likely unsafe if taken internally. If you use aloe vera, use caution. I can not recommend it until conclusive evidence becomes available.

Question 5

why is aloe vera juice not good for diverticulosis?

Accepted Answer

Who says that?: Does not matter if you drink aloe vera or not. It does not affect diverticulosis either way.

Question 6

is aloe vera juice good for weight loss? what are the side effect of aloe vera?

Accepted Answer

Not if it's sugary: If there is added sugar in the drink, then no, it will not be good for weight loss.  If it is free of calories and you are drinking fewer sugary drinks because of the aloe juice, then yes it can help very much like unsweetened tea or coffee can as well.  Drinking too much of it can cause stomach upset or diarrhea. Maintaining balance and not focusing on too much of one thing is important.

Question 7

is aloe vera juice from wal mart just as good as any other aloe vera juice?

Accepted Answer

The same: It is the same regardless of the brands

Question 8

hi, i have acid reflux problem. im taking nexium (esomeprazole) 1 tablet every  day. aloe vera  juice  and coconut  water  is good for that ?

Accepted Answer

DGL: DGL is licorice w/an enzyme removed which could raise BP if taken over a long period of time.  DGL is used as a natural replacement for acid blockers.  It coats the stomach and esophagus.  Peace and good health.  If you are on an acid blocker and switch (ask doc first) you may have a rebound effect for a while.

Question 9

which brand of aloe vera juice tastes best?

Accepted Answer

Don't base on taste!: In choosing aloe vera juice i believe taste is much less important than which is most beneficial- do you want a good tasting brand that is ineffective?  And different people may have different ideas on which tastes best- it's a bit like asking which wine tastes best! there are many brands, each claiming to be the best. In my comment are links to help you choose quality brands. Taste them yourself!

Question 10

how much aloe vera juice is permitted daily?

Accepted Answer
