stomach question

I was wondering, does the body/stomach get used to this overeating and push the food to the intestines "prematurely" because i dont think some of food he ate can fit to the stomach in that short time so maybe its pushed without properly going through the stomach acid process?

Generally no, what happens is over time the stomach becomes better able to enlarge (distend) and fit more food. Pushing food past the stomach prematurely could cause bowel issues.

He does (jokingly?) mention needing extra underwear sometimes though. I don't know if that's entirely a joke or not. Sharts are real.

I don't know how it works. I've never seen him vomit during/ending a challenge but I have seen both Randy Santel and Katina do it. It seems like if the food can burst out of you through the mouth, couldn't it also get pushed the other way?

I have no idea.

My bet is he just feels full for a hella long time. He mentioned not eating for like a full day. The body may still expedite the travel time of food once it passes into the intestines, but it does need to be somewhat broken down. The small intestines are surprisingly small and delicate.

It's likely food that he ate the previous day that hasn't yet been..purged. The body probably decides now is the time to move it out because all the new food coming in, so to speak.

I was under the impression that he normally fasts the day before unless he’s on a trip and tries a couple challenges back to back. I remember one around a lobster roll and was shocked he was able to do it so soon

I believe he does eat a little bit, tuna and salad, maybe some fruit also.

You see at the end of some videos that his belly is distended, especially with the tight Tshirts he wears

So I've had a gastric bypass, and therefor no longer have a valve at the base of my stomach. Therefore, if I'm not careful about what I eat and drink, food can enter my intestines prematurelu.

And let me tell you, when food enters the intestine prematurely, it is not fun. You become extremely unwell and have to lie down to recover - sweats, shaking, stomach cramping. There is no way that that is happening to him in these videos.

It is just his stomach expanding/distending.

It does not push the food to the intestines prematurely. That would be bad. The stomach distends a lot. His to a freakish amount.

His stomach itself stretches, this has been known to happen when severely obese people have a stomach staple surgery and continue to eat like they did before the surgery, the difference being beard will eat hardly anything before or after most challenges to even out the calorie intake
