A member asked:

Does drinking water at night before sleep causes bloating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Water before bed: Drinking water before bed shouldn't cause gas. But it can cause reflux during the night which can be uncomfortable - gravity brings the water mixed w/ stomach acid up into the throat. Best way to test this out is to stop drinking fluids 2-3 hours before bed and see if it improves. Good luck!
