Thwarting Mount Vesuvius Eruptions

I was sleeping on the couch again last night and at one point I sat right up! My stomach was acting up and backing up. 
Ew!! I got up and got some antacids to eat in order to calm the roiling lava in my stomach.
I went to bed to see if I could get to sleep again. I could not lie down without having to sit right back up again. So, I sat up on the couch for about an hour or a little longer while eating more antacids.
It took about an hour and a half for my stomach to calm down enough for me to try to sleep. Success! I think I was able to sleep for a few hours.
Anyway, I think I ate 6 to 8 antacids to neutralize the lava of Mount Vesuvius and keep it from fully erupting.

I know how you feel about dealing with stomach problems when you are trying to get to sleep.

It can be a problem for it to wake me up or for me to try to get to sleep, that's for sure!

@Deepizzaguy Hopefully, the problem doesn't start up for me again tonight.

@bluerubymoon53 I can relate to that when I had health problems related to overeating at night.

Yes, I do. And it is not pleasant at all.

@bluerubymoon53 Maybe you should try eating in small quantities like 6 meals per day.
Eating more proteins helps "the door of the stomach to stay closed while digesting so the food can't go up. While eating greasy stuff can lead the door to stay open.
Also, whenever you feel burned by acids drink a little milk. We call it the stomach band aid. Unless you're lactose intolerant !!
Sorry English is my third language I tried to explain this as good as I could.
Also, needless to say, stay away from fries, lemon, sugar .. unhealthy food !

When my stomach gets upset like that I try to throw up. I always feel better after I've emptied my stomach.

I had a small salad in the afternoon, a cheesecake type dessert in the afternoon and evening. I think coffee is what set it off.
