Now I will explain to you the disadvantages of drinking milk before going to bed for patients with stomach problems.

1. People with stomach problems should not drink milk. People with stomach problems should not drink milk. Because most of these patients suffer from excessive stomach acid, milk is difficult to digest and will produce too much acid, making the condition worse. You can't drink milk after gastrectomy. Because the remaining stomach pouch is very small after gastrectomy, milk will quickly flow into the small intestine, making the already insufficient or lacking lactase even more insufficient or lacking, thus leading to indigestion.

2. Patients with gastric ulcer should not drink milk. Because milk can cause a large amount of gastric acid secretion. When milk begins to enter the stomach, it can dilute the concentration of gastric acid, alleviate the irritation of gastric acid on gastric and duodenal ulcers, and temporarily relieve upper abdominal discomfort. But after a while, the milk becomes an irritant to the gastric mucosa, causing more gastric acid to be produced, further worsening the condition.

3. Whether to drink milk at night depends on your gastrointestinal function. If your gastric digestion function is poor, you cannot drink milk at night. If you feel hungry, you can drink white rice porridge.

4. Drinking milk or juice before going to bed is not good for the stomach, especially for patients with reflux esophagitis. Because the protein, fat and sugar in milk can cause gastric acid secretion, if this continues for a long time, it may cause damage to the stomach when fasting at night and aggravate reflux symptoms. But drinking milk during the day will not hurt your stomach.

So for people with bad stomachs, although milk has many benefits, they still have to consider their stomachs and try to drink less milk before going to bed.
