Gastrointestinal (GI) distress symptoms may develop
“Gastric distress” can result from eating larger portions of food that your body can handle in one sitting. It can also happen if you eat foods that trigger irritable bowel syndrome, e.g., beans. Essentially, the digestive system goes into overdrive to breakdown the food fast enough. Bloating, abdominal cramping, and abdominal pain are some symptoms you may experience. Heartburn and acid reflux are sometimes associated with GI distress.
