Specializes in Pediatrics

The stomach is a very elastic organ which can be trained to enlarge as much as 15-20 times its normal size. As part of his training, Mr Chestnut probably practices eating large quantities of food in very short times, thus increasing the elasticity of his stomach. He has the added benefit of a slender body, which reduces the pressure of intrabdominal fat and organs on the stomach.
