What Does Vomiting Greenish Bitter Fluid Mean?

Vomiting greenish bitter fluid is not a common occurrence in daily life. The bitter taste of greenish fluid is generally related to bile. There are many reasons for this condition, which is usually associated with liver and gallbladder diseases as well as gastrointestinal diseases. For instance, when bile reflux is severe, patients may experience such symptoms. It is important for these patients to seek timely treatment and avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.

1. What is the Cause of Vomiting Greenish Bitter Fluid?

The greenish bitter fluid vomited from the stomach is most likely bile. It is recommended to consider the presence of any underlying diseases, symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, and diarrhea, the possibility of pregnancy, and whether there are accompanying symptoms like fever or severe abdominal pain. It is advisable to visit a nearby reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment. The attending physician will provide tailored treatment based on your condition.

2. What Causes Vomiting Greenish Fluid?

The greenish fluid vomited is bile, which is secreted in the liver and generally stored in the gallbladder. After eating, the gallbladder contracts due to the stimulation of food and releases the stored bile into the duodenum to participate in food digestion. Normally, bile flows from the duodenum to the intestine and does not reach the stomach due to the function of the pylorus, which prevents bile reflux. However, under pathological conditions, bile can pass through the pylorus and reach the stomach. When bile enters the stomach, it stimulates the stomach to produce a vomiting reflex, and the vomitus, including green bile, is expelled through the esophagus and mouth, resulting in the vomiting of greenish fluid. Clinically, this is most commonly seen in biliary reflux gastritis.
