I’m curious if consuming sodium bicarbonate or Eno fruit salt could alleviate discomfort after eating a cheese pizza.

Edit: After reading some enlightening responses, I’m uncertain about the specific element causing my issues—whether it’s the cheese, sauce, or bread. I can consume each component separately without any problems. However, when I eat pizza, I often experience sluggish digestion, especially if it’s close to bedtime, leading to a burning sensation in the morning. I suspect it might be acid reflux triggered by a substantial meal. Perhaps a short walk after eating could help speed up digestion.

    If I eat specifically before bed…

    That’s the problem. You’d likely get heartburn after eating most foods if you eat just before going to bed. Don’t eat that close to bed time and it shouldn’t happen.

      This 10000%

      I had to learn this the hard way when my stomach randomly decided to give up during pandemic. Try not to eat 2 hours before bed time. You can have a light snack if you must (I usually do saltines), but nothing that is heavy to digest.

      Pizza is very heavy to digest
