Many years ago I developed a big problem with heartburn. I was put on Tagamet (it was not over the counter them) and after many months, I was worried about the side effects, so I did some research (this was in the 1990's) I came across DGL licorice and started taking that. Then I added a nightly dose of aloe vera gel (tastes pretty bad). I would chug about an ounce down and then lay back so it would dwell in the back of my esophagus where I felt the pain. After about a week of this, I was off the Tagamet and never took it again. Over the years I chew the DGL when needed and once in awhile use the also vera get. I've never had an issue with it., but I never took much either.
Thank you. Very interesting.

Thanks for sharing this experience with aloe!
Thank you for illuminating this “burning” issue. 🌵😉
