Hi yall,

Just a quickie here.....

Has anyone found the " secret " to what you should eat just prior to

bedtime to prevent waking up in the AM with a painful stomach/pancreas from

it being totally empty? My son and I are both having problems back and forth

with this. While we are both still able to eat " normal " food (somewhat), we

both struggle with find the right foods to eat last thing in the evening.

Neither of us can tolerate " hard " proteins, such as red meat, but we seem to

do fine with dairy, just so long as we are really careful with watching the

fat content.

Any suggestions and experience would be greatly appreciated. BTW, we

have found if we eat " dinner " at about 5 PM, then we must eat something else

prior to 10 PM bedtime. We have really evolved into the 5 - 6 meal a day

regime.......but it feels like we just graze all day without ever really

eating a " meal " as we used to know it.

Thanks ahead of time guys,

Donna,

I usually don't eat anything after 6pm (though I do drink an

Ensure before bedtime) but I do get up in the middle of the

night and eat something, usually around 3 or 4 am. I usually

eat something that is a carbohydrate. Like a bagel or

something similar. Just enough to tide me over.
