A member asked:
If someone's entire body is empty of food , is it still possible to throw up? or would they just be nauseous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes - mucus/saliva: If you have an illness,e.g. gastroenteritis, it is still possible to vomit ; more like dry heaves. Usually it results in some saliva and mucus. The nausea will generally improve after vomiting. Start to take in liquids that have sugar + salt + water -- and take several sips every 20-30 minutes. Avoid foods that are high in oils, dairy foods and citrus foods for now.

Stomach constantly rejects food, I become nauseous when eating normal amounts and occasionally throw up.
You know when you're about to throw up, you feel nauseous and sick. Lately I've been suddenly throwing up little amounts of food I've eaten, but with no signs of nausea. It just happens when I least expect it. Why?
I cannot eat food without feeling nausea. I dont throw up just feel sick. This happens with all foods except certain fruits. Eating Any gluten also causes me serious heartburn and makes it so I cannot breathe?
Have been nausea for 3 days all day and the thought of food makes me want to throw up what should i do?w
