Bloating after dinner is surprisingly common, especially when we eat late, eat fast, or choose heavy foods at night. Thankfully, a few smart dinner-time tweaks can ease digestion, reduce gas, and help you wake up feeling lighter the next morning.

Dinner 2–3 hours before bedtime

This gives your stomach enough time to digest food, preventing gas buildup and nighttime discomfort.

Keep dinner portion sizes smaller

Heavy meals overload the digestive system and cause fermentation, leading to gas.

Add more cooked vegetables

Raw foods are harder to break down at night when digestion naturally slows.

Cut down on salty & UPFs

High-salt and processed dinners cause water retention and lead to next-morning bloating.

Avoid carbonated drinks

Have digestion-friendly spices
