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:

  1. 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.

  2. Portion size: Eating a moderate amount rather than a large quantity can also help prevent digestive issues.

  3. 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 have a 14mm gallstone but no pain right now. Allopathy doctors are recommending surgery to remove it. Can homeopathy actually cure this and how long would it take? Also, are there any good homeopathy doctors in NCR who can guarantee results? I've attached my ultrasound report for reference.

If you have a 14mm gallstone without pain, some homeopathic treatments might offer symptom management, but surgery is often recommended for larger stones or if symptoms develop. It's essential to consult with a qualified homeopath for personalized advice. As for doctors in NCR, you could seek out well-regarded specialists in gastroenterology or hepatobiliary surgery for the best advice on your treatment options.

I've had three endoscopies and the reports show a hiatal hernia. Right now I'm on Sompraz L and don't have burning sensations, but my chest feels really heavy and uncomfortable. The cardiologist checked me for chest pain and all tests even the chest X-ray came back normal with no heart issues. Still, the chest pain won't go away. Do I need surgery for the hiatal hernia or is there another way to manage this?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
