If you can find a good aloe product, it's very helpful for GERD.

One of my sons was told he had "atypical" GERD, because he was constantly burping after he ate. When he and his wife came over for dinner one night, I gave him a glass of water with aloe in it.

As we sat around, talking, after dinner, I mentioned that he wasn't burping. He turned red and said, "Probably just a coincidence, Mom."

And started taking the stupid Prilosec. Because what do mothers know, right?
