My cousin was feeling very unwell last night and vomited something green and bitter. His mother called it 'bile vomiting'. What exactly is bile vomiting? Is it serious?

Bile vomiting is when you throw up a greenish-yellow fluid, which means your stomach is empty or there is a blockage. My gastroenterologist explained that frequent bile vomiting can erode the esophagus and should never be ignored. It requires proper investigation to find the root cause.

Haan na, throwing up that bitter green-yellow water is so painful and makes the throat burn. It usually happens when the stomach is completely empty during severe acidity. Better to drink some warm water and rest, but go to a doctor if it doesn't stop, ho na.

Vomiting bile can be a sign of a severe gastrointestinal issue or intestinal obstruction. If you are also experiencing severe abdominal pain, high fever, or cannot keep fluids down, please go to a hospital emergency immediately for a proper evaluation.

I have seen this happen during severe food poisoning or heavy acidity episodes in my family. It is very exhausting, but usually settles down once the stomach gets complete rest. Keep sipping light electoral water and don't rush to eat solid foods.

Look, throwing up bitter yellow fluid means you are vomiting on an empty stomach, or there is some infection. Drink electrolyte water to avoid dehydration immediately. If this happens multiple times a day, stop taking home remedies and see a doctor.
