A member asked:

Why does my stomach organ always swell after eating or drinking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Nelson answered

It is full: After you eat or drink, the food goes to your stomach for processing to begin the process of digestion. It will stay in your stomach for an hour or two.
