Does the stomach truly stretch

Most of eating in excess is based around overcoming your mental limiters but beyond that is there much room for improvement? Stomachs aren't really an elastic organ, they just kind of fold in and fold out to contain food. I don't know how body parts react to being stretched out but I'd imagine it would be difficult to do with a stomach considering the limited amount of time food actually remains inside. There is also the fact that the stomach needs a little wiggle room so it can do it's job.

Most if not all competitive eaters say they've had large appetites since childhood, so are they just predisposed to having a larger stomach capacity?
