What Causes GERD?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Midnight Snacks
It is not usually recommended, but there are times when the temptation to enjoy a midnight snack is just too great to resist. Unfortunately, this can cause problems like indigestion, and some people will also suffer from GERD. If you are hungry, however, then there is little choice but to get something to eat regardless of symptoms.
In order to try and prevent this, try and have something to eat 2-3 hours before you go to bed. This should hopefully prevent indigestion and GERD, while also preventing the hunger that would send you to the fridge. Some midnight snack foods are also less likely to cause problems than others.
