My mum just said I'll get the runs for having a big glass of orange juice before bed

ArmyofHarmony · 31 Oct 2007 at 21:22

Basically I go to bed around 10.30 now to get up at 5am for work... I had a glass of orange juice about an hour ago with my Pizza for dinner and just poored another one to watch with spooks (fairly big american style glass). She then says my stomach will mess up and i'll get diaria (cant be arsed looking up real spelling, but arsed enough to type this sentence explaining) overnight.

Any truth to this? or is it just another thing in a long line of things by mum has dropped the ball on?

cheers

Try it.

Emlyn_Dewar · 31 Oct 2007 at 21:23

Could happen... If the glass held a few litres.
Nothing to worry about.

Yup its true. Also happens if you eat an apple before bed and some other fruits.

I drink orange juice all day long and a glass comes to bed with me every night to drink for when I wake up during the evening. No ill side effects other than a horrid taste in the morning!

It can cause it, but only in large quantities - as said above, a litre at least.

I'm going to eat an apple, an orange, and some orange juice.

Then, I will drink some milk and eat some cheese.

Then I'll wash allllll that down with a cool refreshing glass of ill-informed old wives tales.

If you think Orange Juice makes you take your bum for a wee, try drinking a glass of Grapefruit Juice before bed

Have you seen Perfect Storm?

Can you get wives tails from supermarkets? Sounds good. No need to cram your 5 a day into your bed time snack. Have fun.

Eat a pack of sugar free polo's, they'll combat the orange juice honest.

Must be sugar free!
