What happens if you over eat in your stomach?
The stomach is an important part of the digestive system. It stores and churns food to break it down into smaller pieces so it can be absorbed by the body. Overeating can put a strain on the stomach and can cause a number of symptoms, including:
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Acid reflux
* Heartburn
* Abdominal pain
* Bloating
* Constipation
* Diarrhea
In severe cases, overeating can even lead to pancreatitis, which is a serious inflammation of the pancreas.
It is important to listen to your body and stop eating when you feel full. Eating slowly and drinking plenty of water can help you avoid overeating.
