A member asked:

Should a person who has skin that is sensitive to aloe take aloe vera for acid reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a good idea: If you are sensitive to aloe on your skin, i would definitely avoid taking it by mouth. Even if you didn't trigger any problems by ingesting it, you could have a contact sensitivity at the other end of the digestive system, something to avoid!
