YOUR STOMACH REALLY CAN explode. Or it can get so big that it can cut off your circulation or suffocate your intestines. The patients who die from this, or nearly die, live in Hungary, Massachusetts, Japan. They are bulimic or anorexic. They are discovered alone in their apartments, or brought to the ER by their parents, or revealed to be hiding the truth from the doctors only when they go into septic shock.
