Can I eat mangoes before going to bed? How long should I wait after eating one? I'm a bit worried it might cause some digestive issues.

You can eat mango at night in moderation, but it's best to have it at least 1-2 hours before bed to give your body time to digest. Eating too close to bedtime might cause discomfort or indigestion for some people, especially if they have a sensitive stomach.

Eating mangoes before bed is generally safe for a healthy adult, including a 26-year-old female. Mangoes are nutritious and provide vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. However, some people might experience mild digestive discomfort if they eat mangoes right before lying down, especially if they have a sensitive stomach or acid reflux.
Key points to consider:
-
Timing: It's best to wait about 1 to 2 hours after eating mangoes before going to bed. This allows your stomach to start digesting the fruit and can help reduce the chance of indigestion or acid reflux.
-
Portion size: Eating a moderate amount rather than a large quantity can also help prevent digestive issues.
-
Individual tolerance: If you notice any discomfort like heartburn, bloating, or gas after eating mangoes at night, you might want to avoid them close to bedtime.
In summary, enjoying mangoes in the evening is fine, but giving your body some time to digest before sleeping is a good practice to avoid potential digestive problems. If you have any specific digestive conditions, consulting a healthcare provider for personalized advice is recommended.

View allI've been experiencing a burning sensation in my food pipe for a few days now. My doctor advised me to get an endoscopy, and it turns out I have an H. pylori infection and some erosions. The doctor prescribed Pantocid HP for 14 days, and I'm currently on the 7th day. I'm still having that burning feeling in my food pipe and stomach. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for patients to feel relief. Also, should I be taking the Pantocid HP before or after meals?
The treatment for Helicobacter Pylori infection can take more than 14 days. The burning sensation in your throat is a symptom of that infection, which can be manageable through use of antacid tablets and gels, such as Mucaine, Gelusil, Pantocid, or Omez. There is no fixed time after which all patients will invariably feel relief. Some patients respond faster to medication, while some require longer time durations with recalibration of medication and lifestyle modification. Pantocid tablets are to be take 15-30 minutes before food.

I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a year now because of my hiatal hernia, but I'm only 22. Is surgery a better option or will I have to stay on these meds forever? How long is it safe to keep taking them?
You’re young, and long-term PPI use can affect bone health, B12, and magnesium levels. If symptoms persist despite meds, consider surgery.

I'm really concerned right now. A couple of months ago, I had typhoid, but everything seemed fine afterward. I did an ultrasound and all my tests came back normal, so I went back to my usual diet. But recently, after a weekend of drinking more alcohol than usual, I experienced a hangover that felt really strange. I went to the hospital, and while most of my liver function test results were normal, my bilirubin levels were highBilirubin Total was 2.2, Direct was 0.9, and Indirect was 1.3. The ultrasound showed nothing abnormal, though. My doctor prescribed some ursodeoxycholic acid tablets and anti-reflux meds, and suggested we repeat the liver function test after 15 days. I'm pretty worried about this whole situation. Could this be linked to my past typhoid, or did the alcohol play a bigger role? What should I be keeping an eye on? This is stressing me out.
