Vomiting After Drinking Milk Before Bedtime Posted: 01-18-07 05:56am
Hey all!
First, i'm not lactose intolerant to my
knowledge... Never had a problem with
milk before. But twice in the last week I
drank some milk before I layed down for
bed. I did this because I was really
hungry but there isn't much in the way of
snacks around here. The first time, I
also had a bagel. The second time, no
bagel.
This second time, what came up was a; a
lot more than the first time and b; had
chunks of what quite clearly appeared to
be cottage cheese. Why is the milk
curdling in my stomach?
I've also been constipated, though that
started long before the nausea. The
vomiting occoured about 3 hours after
drinking the milk. The first time, I
vomited again two hours later. This
time... I haven't had the "chance" yet,
ha ha. There is moderate (5 on the pain
scale) stomach pain before the vomiting
that subsided to a 2 afterwards, but
lasted the good part of the day last time,
with a complete loss of appetite until
around dinner, when I ate a little
chicken, some macarroni and chese and
potatoes without any trouble.
I think the first time was about a week
ago now, last thursday morning. The last
time i'd vomited was in highschool...
I know this isn't "morning sickness"
because its occourred within 3 hours each
time. I just happened to go to bed at 3
am the first time and 2 am the second
time, which explains the one hour
difference from the first time and this
time. So if I went to bed at nine pm, i'd
be puking by midnight. Not that I want to
further test the theory.

Hi. If the milk is curdling in your
stomach, it could be that it's reacting to
irregular stomach acid(milk is a base).
Also, you could be having issues with
digesting it because you're taking it
before going to bed... Because you're not
at an angle it's easier for the milk to
come back up. Hope you figure it out
