A member asked:

An hour after i ate i threw up vomit that was solid & looked like undigested chunks of food. i feel weak & light-headed. why would the vomit be solid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Timeframe-undigested: Digestion time varies; It takes approximately 6 to 8 hours after you eat for food to pass through the stomach into the small intestines. One hour after you ate, the contents of your stomach were not digested. So the vomitus had solid food particles. I hope you feel better now.
