Bloated Before Bed? Your Gut Might Be Asking for a Little Kindness. 😴💚
Waking up tired, puffy, or uncomfortable? What you eat before bedtime can make or break your digestion and sleep.
Let’s break down the best (and worst) foods for your tummy at night — so you can rest easy and wake up refreshed.
✅ Gut-Friendly Night Bites
Choose foods that are soothing, light, and easy to digest:
1. 🍌 Bananas
Gentle on the stomach, packed with magnesium and potassium to relax muscles and calm your gut.
2.🌾 NutriBrownRice® (Original No Sugar)
A warm, prebiotic-rich drink made from brown rice. It’s low in acidity, supports digestion, and makes the perfect cozy nightcap.
3.🍵 Plain Oatmeal
Rich in soluble fiber — it helps absorb excess stomach acid and supports smoother digestion.
4.🍠 Boiled Sweet Potatoes
Soft, nourishing, and full of gut-loving fiber to keep things moving comfortably.
5.🍵 Warm Herbal Teas
Chamomile, ginger, or peppermint tea helps relax your digestive tract and ease bloating.
❌ What to Skip Before Sleep
These can trigger acid, gas, or discomfort that messes with your rest:
1.🔥 Spicy or Fried Foods
Can irritate the stomach lining and cause acid reflux.
2.☕ Caffeinated Drinks
Coffee, certain teas, and even chocolate can keep your gut (and mind) buzzing.
3.🍊 Citrus Fruits & Juices
Highly acidic — a common cause of nighttime stomach discomfort.
4.💨 Carbonated Drinks
Gas bubbles in your drink = gas bubbles in your belly. Not ideal before lying down.
5.🍔 Heavy or Fatty Meals
Take a long time to digest and can leave you feeling full, bloated, and restless.
