Vomiting can be a one-off caused by something you ate or something you did, while acute vomiting for conditions like food poisoning or gastro can last a few hours to a few days.
Vomiting for more than a few days, or experiencing other symptoms alongside the vomiting, could mean there is a serious underlying condition and you may need medical assistance. When a vomit is looming, a signal is sent to an area of the brain called the chemoreceptor trigger zone, or CTZ.
The CTZ receives this information and determines if the threat warrants vomiting. The CTZ then communicates to other areas of the body to start the domino effect for vomiting. Before you vomit you may feel nauseous, become pale, have a cold sweat, and have an increased heart rate.
Your mouth will also produce extra saliva to protect your teeth from the incoming stomach acid. As your body prepares to vomit, the major muscles in between the neck and abdomen — the diaphragm, chest wall and the abdominal muscles — all contract at the same time.
This puts pressure on the stomach, forcing the contents in the stomach up the throat and through your mouth. For example, blueberry pie might churn up blue puke. A red ice pop might make red puke. Your puke may be green sometimes, but that's not because you ate green beans.
Puke looks green when a chemical called bile say: BYEL mixes with it. This will happen if the food that comes back up is squeezed from your intestines into your stomach and then up your throat.
Be sure to tell a parent if your puke looks green. No matter what color it is, though, puke usually stinks — whether you've eaten tuna fish, toast, or jelly beans. Normally, your digestive system carries food down your throat, into your stomach, and on through your intestines until what's left of the food reaches the end of the line at your rectum and comes out as a bowel movement what you might call poop. But if you have a virus or other germs in your stomach or intestine, eat food with lots of bacteria say: bak-TEER-ee-uh in it, feel very nervous, or spin too fast on the merry-go-round, your stomach or intestines might say "this food is stopping here.
As gross as it can look and feel, puking is pretty normal. Everyone has puked during their life, even your mom or dad. When you're sick with the stomach "flu" you may need to puke, and there's not much you can do about it. Sometimes being nervous or eating too much food is all it takes to upset your stomach. In these cases, you often can help your stomach by relaxing and taking a few slow deep breaths. Motion sickness — a sick feeling that some people get from riding in cars, boats, or airplanes — can sometimes be helped by eating a small snack before you start moving.
