I ate a little more than a teaspoon of raw active dry yeast what will happen to my stomach? i'm afraid that the yeast will grow in my stomach.

No worries: The kinds of yeast used in cooking, beer making, etc do not infect humans; nothing will happen. Anyway, such yeasts exist all around us, in dust, on our food, etc. Without knowing it, you swallow billions of various yeasts and bacteria every day. Mostly it's harmless, in fact is necessary for human health. So no worries at all!
