This is sort of a diet/nutrition question: has this happened to anyone?

The past 2 nights I've had an apple for a snack around 10pm, and then woken up in the middle of the night with bad heartburn. The first night I was just a little queasy but last night it was BAD. I had to go take tums. Can apples do this? Even now my upper stomach is not perfect. Has anyone had this happen before? I'm kind of bummed because an apple at night is a satisfying snack. But not if I'm going to get woken up later with heartburn!

This has never happened to me before but maybe its the fiber in the apple? Could be gas pains. Or, maybe because your having it right before bed? I am not really sure but if I eat anything too close to when i lay down, it sits in my stomach weird.

Yep! If I eat apples on an empty stomach I get the worst gas pains ever. I love apples but can only eat them with another food and early in the day or i feel like crap

Maybe try peeling the apple first? I've heard the peel can be hard to digest.

Yeah, I think I have to limit apples to an afternoon food. But now after this week I don't want them for a while
