Vomiting and possibly choking are the likely resultsThe stomach is only able to hold a given volume of material (usually 2 - 4 L in adult humans). The food remains in the stomach for a varied time period, depending on what the food is. Feeding tube food is generally easy to digest so will pass through the stomach quickly, but too much, too fast or both will certainly lead to reflux. Vomiting and consequential choking would be very unpleasant.
