Anyone else that can’t eat later in the day anymore?

r/

My stomach refuses to digest if I eat too late in the day. It just doesn’t work like it used to.

A lot of the times I do eat dinner I wake up in the middle of the night to digest. It has become such a problem that I just don’t eat dinner anymore. I take a light snack – usually eggs for protein and some fruit. No full meals after 17:00 for me.

Anyone else?

    Yup 😅 The same goes for my father, who is in his 50’s. He says it will give him heartburn

    When I was younger I couldn’t understand why my parents didn’t have the same level of excitement for certain takeout foods that I had.

    Now that I’m in my mid 30s, I completely understand. My digestive system has turned into a sensitive ecosystem and any changes to my diet are swiftly punished! 😂

    Yea, I don’t really understand how people can eat such late dinners! I usually eat dinner at like 5:30-6pm. If I eat later than that, I can’t sleep right.

    I feel you on this. Having dinner is usually a challenge for me, and if I wait too long it can be a no go.

    I tried to eat a cookie after a long and stressful day and my stomach was like “nah if you take another bite it’s not going to stay inside.”

    I think stress and fatigue can impact digestion a lot.

    I was born with GERD as well, so that’s also a factor. I can’t eat before bed & if I do I can’t sleep or lay down. I do have a wedge pillow & it’s medicated, but if you have GERD eating too soon before bed is one of the main things to avoid.
