Eating food after not eating for a long time makes my stomach ache.

[vishna]

I have heard that you can kill a starving dog by giving it too much food. Okay, for a human female can you get a stomach ache by eating 4 ravioli about four hours after you wake up. How to stop the pain?

Serioulsy bent over in pain.

This happens to me a lot when I don't eat for a while then eat!

okay also is this a legit medical thing, that you hurt your body or shock it by eating after not eating for a long time?

Thank you, and yes I also laughed while reading this. :)

Yes, a creature that has been starving can die if it's given too much food. The stomach has begin to shut down, constrict, and a lot of the bacteria used for breaking down food is either weak or not present due to lack of nutrition and production. Too much food can cause the stomach to expand too rapidly causing rupture, or the body can't handle breaking it down well enough yet, and you begin to get rotting and infection. Infections of the belly are never good. I was watching a movie in history about the halochaust; a guy got rescued and was given bread and water. He ate like 4 medium sized buns, drank all the water and died within hours. Think of it like shoving too much paper into a shredder - it usually jams and you got a fun mess to clean up.

LOL @ ravioli

This has never happened to me - I eat ravioli all the time. (the mini one's are so delish :D) maybe your stomach was just being sensitive, or you at them to fast. If your periods coming, that could mess with your tummy. It could be a number of things honestly.

I can't eat too much late into the night (like after 10,) because I'll wake up in the morning with some belly pains. Don't know why that happens, as my brother can chow away all night and be perfectly fine.

I would assume eating after a good while could shock your body because the stomach begins to restrict and all that stuff. If it's a smaller amount of sustanence, I don't think it will do much harm or kill you though.

Sorry for your sad belly :(

[vishna]

wow thank you :)

[oOsweet~o~nessOo]

yep ^^

If your stomach is still hurting - I use a heating pack to help with my tummy issues. Works pretty well and dulls the pain till it passes

[vishna]

thanks :)

lifesaver

[oOsweet~o~nessOo]

your very welcome ^^

[NessielaKee]

I like your answer. And thank you for providing the facts.

[oOsweet~o~nessOo]

tnx :)

Yea I'm a biology nerd :P so it was fun to answer :D

You can shock your body and die that way but it takes extreme starvation for that to happen. It happened to some holocaust survivors after the war.

Chances are you are just really full. I know 4 ravioli isn't a lot but your stomach shrinks in size when it doesn't get food for a long time. Because of that 4ravioli was probably a lot to your stomach.

Maybe try and eat slower if you find yourself in this situation. Or drink a glass of water first to get your stomach expanded.

It can shock your system that is why it is important to eat regularly. not just for that reason but you can really mess with your blood sugar and when it spikes all crazy too often that can cause blood sugar problems leading to diabetes and no you do not have to be fat. a girl I work with her daughter weighs like 90lbs and became diabetic by eating erratically.

I read stories about soldiers liberating Nazi internment camps and finding the Jewish people in them, starved to the bones. They wanted to help them immediately so they started giving them rations from their food supply. They had to stop this soon after because they realized that it would kill them if they were fed too much. They had to be eased back into normal diets.

So yeah, are you eating regularly and properly? If you aren't and try to eat a lot, then you could be hurting yourself because you're malnourished.

Aww, does your tummy hurt, babe?

I don't think 4 ravioli is even approaching the requisite amount of food needed to explode even the smallest of stomachs.

[TigerRoseBear]

I think she meant 4 cans.

[Voltaire]

Even so. A stomach can hold like 33 oz of food, that's not 4 cans of ravioli.

[vishna]

seriously sweetie, my tummy does hurt

thank you for your concern, just seeing your face helps somewhat

[Voltaire]

Yes, my refined French features have a pacifying effect on tummy aches, what can I say?

[oOsweet~o~nessOo]

Seriously @ 33oz / consumption of 4 cans

Won't your stomach like explode? Or do you have to eat them spaciously throughout the day?

[oOsweet~o~nessOo]

And yes Voltaire - your face is quite soothing :D

[Voltaire]

I wish I could say the same about your face-people thingies.

[vishna]

bwaha honey bunches

cruel

[Voltaire]

Nah, she knows that the faces are scary.

[vishna]

you are involved in dirty politics

sweet stuff

This happens to my sister too. When she skips a meal and then eat even the littlest amount of food she has the worst stomach pain ever for the rest of the day. She went to see a doctor and he gave her a treatment but it didn't work.
When this happens to her she adds one or two table spoons of honey (preferably raw honey) to a cup of water and stirs it until it dissolves then drinks it. She says it always stops the pain.

[vishna]

It's so painful. This happened so much my senior year of high school. I've been drinking honey ginger tea in college though, this may have helped avoid the pain.

[TigerRoseBear]

Just wait it out. Sit on the crapper if you want seeing if something will happen. Hopefully something'll pop out. :)

[TigerRoseBear]

@Update: Do you eat really fast?

[TigerRoseBear]

LOL just 4 ravioli? You're just hungry I think. Eat slowly.
