A member asked:
Are the effects of vomiting different to forced vomiting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little difference: The physiologic process of self induced vomiting differs little from involuntary vomiting as both lead to emptying of gastric contents. Involuntary vomiting may be repetitive whereas self induced vomiting usually is a one time process.
