A member asked:

What does it mean if you''re vomiting undigested food after 12 hours?'

Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Not good: Vomiting undigested food after 12 hours can mean your GI system is extremely slowed down, and/or you have a blockage that the food cannot pass through. Are you having pain also? This calls for urgent medical evaluation. Take care.
