Is it safe to eat curd at night for digestion and health? - #21347

So, I’ve recently been really curious about this whole thing with curd — you know, the one we eat with all kinds of food and stuff, like that spicy curry. But now I’m wondering, can we eat curd at night? This question popped up after a dinner party last week where one of my friends did this big rant about different diets and how certain foods can mess with sleep. Like, she was saying how eating curd at night is bad because it can lead to digestive issues and maybe even disrupt our sleep, but honestly, I love having some curd with my meals! The thing is, after eating dinner with some yogurt on top, I kinda felt bloated, but another friend told me that it's just how my body reacts sometimes. My digestion has been off for a bit, and I started questioning myself... Can we eat curd at night without ruining our stomach or sleep? Also, I tried to look it up, and there were a bunch of sources saying different things. A couple folks say that curd is great for health and contains probiotics, which should be good for gut. So, I’m like confused. I’ve been told that foods like curd have a cooling effect on the body and can help with digestion but what if I eat it late at night? Should I be worried? The other night, I downed a big bowl of curd while watching a movie, and I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom. Embarrassing, right? I don't know if it was the curd or just my nerves from the movie. So it really got me wondering, can we eat curd at night? What's your experience with it? My mom always says it’s fine as long as you’re not lactose intolerant, but I thought I was doing ok. Now, I’m second-guessing. I just want to avoid those annoying mornings where I wake up feeling sluggish and bloated. Like, how am I supposed to function if I feel like that?! I’ve tried different timings with curd and the only real consistent thing I found is that when I eat it earlier in the day, I feel considerably better. But the late-night snack for me feels comforting! And, if curd at night is really bad for digestion, would it be wise to just avoid it or would having smaller portions help? Has anyone else dealt with this situation? If we can eat curd at night, what’s the right amount? Or should I just stick to fruit or something instead? I want to make sure I make the right choice here, but it's hard with all the mixed messages out there. So, can we eat curd at night or not? What’s the verdict?
