Introduction

New studies show a problem. Stress and eating late at night are bad for your stomach. These two things together make your stomach sick.

Main Body

Scientists studied 11,000 people. Some people felt a lot of stress. These people also ate a lot of food after 9:00 p.m. These people had more stomach problems. They had more diarrhea and constipation. Another study with 4,000 people showed the same thing. Dr. Harika Dadigiri is a lead doctor. She says the time you eat is very important.
