Raw bread dough creates a number of concerns most notably the ethanol poisoning but also possible bloat and bowel obstruction as it rapidly expands at body temperature. Intravenous fluids and b vitamins as soon as possible can help eliminate the ethanol and support blood pressure and circulation, blood glucose and breathing complications should be monitored carefully. Bloat and vomiting would be concerning signs and may indicate that emergency surgery may be required
