A woman was rushed to the hospital after eating more than she could handle at an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

Danielle Shapiro is a 24-year-old real estate agent from California who decided to get her money’s worth after paying $50 to eat at the Sushi 85 buffet in Mountain View.

Determined to make her trip worth her while, the young lady downed a bowl of beans, a bowl of soup, two jalapeno poppers, four gyozas, and as many as 32 sushi rolls.

While she felt like a winner after managing to eat more than most people could in one sitting, Shapiro was in for a scary surprise – and an emergency trip to the hospital – on the following morning.

“My best friend Amanda was in town for the weekend and she loves sushi as well so we were both looking forward to the All you can eat sushi experience,” Danielle recalled.

“The all you can eat sushi is about $50 a person so Amanda and I had to make sure we got our money’s worth, which meant eating a lot. Our dinner was about two hours long because we were so stuffed we had to keep taking breaks.”

She added: “Immediately after dinner we were so full we had to sit in my car for about 30 minutes before driving home. My stomach felt very firm from all the sushi and probably the rice that expanded in my stomach.

“That night I went to sleep at my boyfriend’s house and I had the worst stomach ache but didn’t think much of it since I had a huge meal! I am not a morning person so when I woke up around 6 am the next day I knew something was wrong.

“My stomach and chest had intense pain and it was hard to take deep breaths.”

Concerned by the terrifying symptoms, the 24-year-old’s boyfriend drove Danielle to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a severe form of gastroesophageal reflux.

Although the condition is typically not life-threatening, the food lover was forced to stay in the hospital for several hours due to her state.

While it took the young lady several days to completely recover from her ordeal, she definitely hasn’t put sushi off the menu for long.

“I will definitely eat sushi again! This experience has not ruined sushi for me, or the all-you-can-eat sushi experience. I did learn that next time I need to listen to my body and take things slower,” Danielle concluded.
