35 Year Old Female, 5'10" And145 Lbs. I Overate By
Question: 35 year old female, 5'10" and145 lbs. I overate by a lot and am really uncomfortable. I ate approximately 4oz of cooked quinoa spaghetti (2 full plate servings), with shredded chicken, equivalent to the size of a large 8 oz chicken breast. I feel very bloated and like I could possibly throw up, but I'm not. I do overeat frequently. Is it possible that my stomach could burst from eating this much in this one sitting? In this case, is it better to help myself throw up? I have never thrown up from overeating my adult life, but have as a child.

It seems to be acute gastritis with indigestion due to overeating. Bolimia maybe also be there.
1.Your stomach will not burst due to overeating. But functional indigestion and gas problem can develop. In sever case diarrhea as well can occur.
