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.

I've been having this pinching pain in one spot of my stomach for a while now, but it usually just lasts a few seconds, so I've sort of ignored it. But lately, like for the past week, it's been happening more often. There's no swelling or marks or anything like that. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you might be experiencing intermittent pain due to something like gas, indigestion, or even stress. However, if the pain has become more frequent, it could be worth getting it checked out to rule out issues like ulcers, acid reflux, or other stomach conditions. A visit to a doctor would help clarify the cause.

I've been diagnosed with GERD grade 3 reflux and I'm wondering if surgery is an option for me. I'm really concerned about post-op complications is there a way to avoid them or are there alternatives I should consider?
If your symptoms did not improve with lifestyle changes or drug therapy, you may be a candidate for surgery. Some patients prefer a surgical approach as an alternative to a lifetime of taking medications. The goal of surgery for reflux disease is to strengthen the anti-reflux barrier.
