    You would throw up long before your stomach burst...or maybe have a heart attack. The stomach can hold an astonishing amount of food. It just keeps on expanding.

    There are people that have eaten through their gastric bypass and people that have ruptured their stomach generally they eat something that expands after consumption or swells from liquid uptake.

    "Interestingly enough, you can rupture your stomach if you eat too much," says Dr. Rachel Vreeman, co-author of "Don't Cross Your Eyes ... They'll Get Stuck That Way!" and assistant professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine. "It is possible, but it's very, very rare."

    There are cases where the stomach becomes so large that it ruptures from the sheer volume of food within it.

    You probably wouldnt want to find out yourself i can guarentee that depending on how much more you eat at that point. Your stomach will become very bloated and possibly a little painful if you feel like you cant breathe or walk and you kept eating alot more you may actually feel somewhat immobile from being so uncomfortable for sometime not entirly sure. But most people may throw up from too much food for the body to digest.

    You would certainly never do a Mr Creosote after his "waffer thin mint". You may induce vomiting. You'd certain end up a real porker if you kept on doing it regularly.

    When I over eat I feel very uneasy and really hate the feeling in my stomach. I don’t throw up but I feel very heavy and bloated. A couple of large cups of green tea helps a bit, but mostly I try not to reach such a situation. I’d like to compensate with an extra workout session :).

    Bloated. It's not a good feeling to feel bloated.

    Nothing as long as you remember to throw up afterwards. I'm a bulimic that forgets to throw up so I'm fat.

    Knowing my body, I'm pretty sure I would throw up.
