Eating too much food can carry serious health risks, experts say, after a content author died earlier this month after “eating too much” on a live stream.

Pan Xiaoting, an internet star known for his excessive eating disorders, was just 24 years old when he died earlier this month, just weeks after leaving the hospital with gastric bleeding.

Chinese social media took part in a “mukbang” livestream before his death on July 14, after amassing thousands of online fans who enjoyed his culinary content.

The content creator has committed her online channels to generating “mukbang” content, in which users appear to consume audibly satisfying amounts of food.

This is done while the user interacts with the audience by discussing the delicious foods they consume.

After she was discharged from the hospital, doctors gave her a serious warning about her physical condition, but she continued creating food content.

The Maeil business newspaper reported that a follow-up autopsy revealed that Xiaoting’s abdomen was filled with undigested food at the time of his death.

The banner was also found to be severely deformed.

According to Heathline, partially digested food, such as that discovered in Xiaoting’s autopsy, can lead to gastrointestinal (GP) perforation or intestinal perforation.

This condition occurs when a gap develops in a patient’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which can cause peritonitis, an inflammation of the membrane lining the abdominal cavity.

Both require immediate medical attention, and due to their life-threatening nature, surgery will be necessary in the most severe cases to repair the gap and treat it.

The surgery would not solve the anatomical challenge of the cavity, but it would also remove any foreign bodies that could cause challenges, such as feces, bile, and food.

Complications from a gastrointestinal perforation can also occur, such as bleeding, sepsis, abdominal abscesses, and intestinal infarction, which is when your intestine dies.

The site also states that the survival rate for gastrointestinal perforation is 50 to 70 percent, and the threat of mortality increases the longer treatment is delayed.

However, the chances of recovery are higher with early diagnosis and treatment.

Some of Xiaoting’s peak streaming content has noticed demanding situations that endanger her life and would cause her to consume large amounts of food.

In some incidents, the star was allegedly fed more than 10kg of food per meal.

Local media also reported that the online star tried in the past to consume food non-stop, without interruption, for long periods of time, up to 10 hours a day.
