anyone get indigestion if they eat late at night?

[dinny]

I think I have started to... usually eat after kids in bed and I feel rotten afterwards - really uncomfortable and unable to sleep. anyone else and what time do yu stop eating in the evening to avoid it/any other tips? tia, dinny

I think I heard that you need to eat no latere than 9pm but I reckon it probably depends more on when you go to bed.

How late are you eating?

prob 9pm at latest - but then usually fall asleep watching TV at 10

hmm maybe not long enough between eating and going to sleep

not sure why it would sudden;y start to bother you though if it hasn't before. can you think of anything else that could be the issue

Have you eaten differently for the last few days or something?

Try making your last snack 2/3 hours before bedtime.
Don't drink caffeine late at night.
After eating, don't bend down to pick things up or do vacuuming. Sit for a while to let the food go down.
Avoid spicy, rich food.
Avoid alcohol late in evening.
If I think of any more I'll let you know
HTH

isn't indigestion is something that affects you as you get older, TR?

haven't eaten since 5pm - seems to be working so far!

I think you're supposed to leave 2 hours between last meal and bedtime

Sadly - the older you get the worse it gets. Eating my evening meal earlier, drinking lots of water during the day, and with meals helps me.

have asked my mum and she says form about 35/36 she started being unable to eat late at all as got bad indigestion - as I am 34, I reckon that's what's happening...

good for the ole diet tho!
