I ate too much at dinner. can my stomach explode? i have stomach pain
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too much food!: No - while the stomach has the ability to distend with food it can not explode. You will feel uncomfortable until the food bolus is processed by the stomach and moved along into the small intestines. You may feel very tired or sleepy as blood is shunted to the gut area for metabolism purposes. Good luck and next time - don't over eat
