Green Vomit Posted: 12-29-07 13:32pm


Well, here I am, the only one in the house who isn't sick! Good for me, aside from the fact that I have to take care of everyone.... BOO! It's my day off Well, Anthony started throwing up last night around 2am. He said it was green, although he had not eaten anything green at all yesterday. After throwing up, he has had severe diarrhea as well. I would say he has thrown up about 9 or 10 times since that first time early this morning. He couldn't even keep water down. I just started giving him hot tea, and that has been the only thing he has been able to keep down. Question: What could cause his vomit to be green?

I don't know if you were fishing for any particular member to reply, but sometimes Stomach Acid is thrown up if the stomach is empty. This can be light green to yellow and followed by dry heaves. What kind of green is it? Any alarming dark colored vomit without a known cause, should be followed by a call to the doctor. If he had any kind of cold or congestion if could have settle in the stomach and been vomited as well. I've been through the ringer with my 2 kids and have seen my share of different colors of vomit and diarrhea as well. Good Luck.

Green can be a sign of food poisoning. Sometimes if you eat something that has artificial colors (like those fruit chewy candies) they can cause green, even if they aren't green, it depends on how the body is trying to digest it and how the fluids in the body react.
