Causes of vomiting with acidic contents

Causes

The main diseases that provoke its appearance are:

1. Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum.
2. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
3. Chronic gastritis.
4. Pyloric stenosis in the stage of decompensation.
5. Bacterial and viral diseases.

All of these diseases, with the exception of pyloric stenosis, occur with an increase in the production of gastric juice, which leads to an increase in acidity in the lumen of the stomach. Vomiting itself is a complex reflex act that is controlled by the medulla oblongata. Typically, vomiting refers to the eruption of gastric contents into the oral or nasal cavity. It should not be confused with nausea, since nausea is a prerequisite for the gag reflex and is usually regarded as a state of discomfort in the abdominal cavity.

Causes

• chronic gastritis;
• viral, bacterial infections;
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome;
• stomach or duodenal ulcer;
• pyloric stenosis.

These pathologies lead to increased production of gastric juice, which increases the level of acidity. When reflex vomiting occurs, its contents are expelled by the body.

An ulcer can develop in any part of the organ. Its development is associated with several mechanisms. The first is protective, which arises due to the impact of negative factors on the organ: hot food, large undigested pieces of food, the presence of Helicobacter bacteria. They lead to a reduction in the protective layer that envelops the inner surface of the stomach. Another mechanism is an increase in acidity, which occurs for similar reasons due to increased production of hydrochloric acid.

Irritable stomach syndrome is observed, which provokes an impact on the nerve fibers and leads to an eruption. Vomiting with an ulcer does not require relief, appears after eating and contains acid.

There is a narrowing of the outlet leading from the stomach to the duodenum. Because of this, a mechanical barrier appears to the passage of stomach contents through the gastrointestinal tract. Then the digested food mixed with gastric juice moves in the opposite direction, which leads to vomiting. They often have a liquid consistency.

The disease poses a threat to the patient's life and requires urgent treatment.

Chronic gastritis, accompanied by hypersecretion, is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa when excessive acid formation occurs in the parietal cells. The disease is manifested by vomiting with acid and prolonged pain. Appears at night, when there is no food in the stomach to digest. After the eruption, short-term relief occurs, and symptoms return.

The appearance of a food toxic infection is the most common factor in acid vomiting, which develops due to the entry of pathogenic microorganisms into the gastrointestinal tract. Most food infections are characterized by the rapid onset of symptoms, after just a few hours, and rapid development: nausea, profuse vomiting with liquid, and then acid.

This is due to the secretion of mucus to eliminate microorganisms that disrupt the stable functions of the organ. They lead to increased secretion of gastric juice and increase acidity.

This disease leads to the growth of formations in the pancreas. Due to this, the production of gastric juice increases. If a large amount is released into the body, this leads to an increase in the amount of hydrochloric acid. As a result, symptoms similar to those of an ulcer appear. However, it is impossible to stop such attacks of vomiting with medications, only surgically.

Acid vomiting also appears in the presence of other pathologies. Due to traumatic brain injuries or strokes, an eruption of highly acidic contents may occur. The symptom may indicate a decrease in the tone of the digestive system or excessive overeating.

Vomiting due to peptic ulcer

A stomach ulcer can be localized in any part of the stomach. Its development is due to two interdependent mechanisms. The first of them is protective, under the influence of negative factors (hot food, large pieces, exposure to Helicobacter) provokes a decrease in the synthesis of protective mucus that envelops the surface of the gastric mucosa. The second mechanism, an increase in acidity, depends on the same factors that lead to a decrease in protective properties. As a result, there is an increase in the acidity of gastric juice due to increased secretion of hydrochloric acid.

The so-called irritable stomach syndrome develops, which leads to stimulation of autonomic nerve fibers, irritation of the vomiting center, transmission of nerve impulses to the diaphragm and abdominal muscles and subsequently to vomiting. A characteristic feature of vomiting in peptic ulcers is sour contents, and vomiting itself does not bring relief. It appears almost immediately after eating (up to 10 minutes).

Green vomit, reasons, what to do if vomit is green?

There are many reasons for its appearance. We can only say unequivocally that vomiting is evidence of an illness, especially if it is repeated several times. When you overeat or disrupt the processes of digestion of food by the stomach, what you eat is rejected by the body almost in the same form in which it entered it. If the food was green, then the vomit will be green. Nausea preceding such vomiting may indicate severe food poisoning. Frequently recurring attacks of nausea and vomiting can also affect the acquisition of a greenish tint by the rejected masses. When particles of undigested food enter bile, vomit can become yellow, yellow-green (most often) or green in color.

Green vomit, what causes green vomit? The appearance of green vomit often indicates a malfunction of the organs involved in the digestive process. Serious diseases are also indicated by the appearance of bitterness in the mouth during such vomiting. Green vomit may be due to the fact that there will be a certain amount of bile in the vomit. The causes of bile vomiting, that is, the causes of green vomiting, can be very diverse, but the main diseases that can cause green vomiting are:

Some pathological processes are accompanied by bile entering the vomit. Most often it occurs with dysfunction of the liver, gallbladder and excretory ducts, reflux, acute pancreatitis, cyclic vomiting syndrome, and obstruction in the small intestine. Colic attacks are accompanied by bloating, severe pain, nausea leading to vomiting, and a sharp increase in body temperature. The vomit contains bile inclusions. Vomiting is quite frequent, repeated about once every two hours, after which the patient does not feel relief.

With cholecystitis, a person feels severe pain on the right side under the ribs, his skin and whites of his eyes turn yellow, and itching occurs throughout the body. Bile streaks in rejected masses usually appear as a result of eating fatty and fried foods. Periodic attacks are repeated quite often. If a person is diagnosed with liver pathology, vomiting is provoked by bile reflux, which arises from a stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer or complications after surgery. With reflux, bile rises to the higher organs of the digestive system - the stomach and esophagus, sometimes even reaching the oral cavity. Abundant accumulation of bile in the stomach becomes a source of nausea, heartburn and vomiting.

Cyclic vomiting syndrome, when the body loses a large amount of bile, is characterized by periodic vomiting attacks without visible preconditions. This condition can last several days, sometimes up to two weeks, while in other respects the person will remain completely healthy. Constant contact with vomit causes irritation of the stomach walls, as a result of which bile is produced more actively and the body tries to remove it. Green vomit, what does it mean? With pancreatitis, a person experiences multiple inflammatory processes in the pancreas. Pathogenic changes are accompanied by abdominal pain, which worsens when sitting or standing, and subsides when the person lies down. The unpleasant sensations are complemented by the rejection of stomach contents with clearly visible bile inclusions.

One-time yellow short-term vomiting with simultaneous diarrhea should not cause concern. To normalize well-being, it is enough to provide the patient with plenty of fluids, preferably mineral water with released gas. After a few hours, you can return to your usual diet.

What to do if green vomit appears? If the occurrence of yellow mucous vomiting is natural and appears after every meal, most likely the person has a diseased liver; this symptom also often accompanies pathologies of the pancreas and gallbladder, in particular pancreatitis and cholecystitis. It often occurs with gastritis, ulcerative processes, intestinal infections, food and toxic poisoning, diseases that are not related to digestion: meningitis and encephalitis. If the gallbladder and excretory ducts are clogged with stones, vomiting occurs, regardless of food intake. In some cases, bilious vomiting is a consequence of fear, a stressful situation, or prolonged nervous tension.

Vomiting with pyloric stenosis and chronic gastritis

Pyloric stenosis is characterized by a narrowing of the outlet leading from the stomach to the duodenum. Because of this, a mechanical barrier arises during the evacuation of gastric contents from its cavity. Waves of reverse peristalsis begin to form, which promotes the flow of digested food and gastric juice in the opposite direction.

Vomit may contain undigested food components, but most often they are of a liquid consistency. If this symptom appears, consultation with a surgeon is necessary, since the condition is somewhat life-threatening.

Chronic gastritis with hypersecretion is a chronic inflammation of the cells of the gastric mucosa, accompanied by increased acid production by parietal cells (in medicine it is more often known as chronic gastritis type B or gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori).

This disease is accompanied by prolonged hunger pain. Vomiting with acid develops. Most often it manifests itself at night and usually brings some relief after removing the contents of the stomach. It worries patients for a long time and requires long-term observation and competent therapy.

Treatment methods for vomiting

What should you do first with a sick person? If acid vomiting occurs, the patient must be placed in a horizontal position. The place where the patient is located should be comfortable and spacious so that the person can turn over at the right time.

Place a container for vomit nearby. If the patient is very weak, it is necessary to turn him on his side to prevent choking on vomit.

After an attack, give warm liquid and rinse the mouth. It is allowed to replace boiled water with disinfectants: a weak solution of potassium permanganate or baking soda. To prevent the gag reflex, it is recommended that the patient put 2-3 drops of mint drops on the tongue or give an ice cube.

1. Polysorb. The drug is diluted in warm water and taken throughout the day, dividing the dose for an adult or a child into 4-5 doses 60 minutes before meals. For adults, the daily dosage of the drug is up to 20 grams, for children up to 8-10 grams.
2. Enterodesis. Dilute 5 grams of the drug in ½ glass of water. Take 2 hours before meals three times a day.
3. Activated carbon is used based on the patient's weight. For 10 kg, take 1 tablet with a dosage of 250 mg.
4. Enterosgel. Dilute 22 grams of gel in 100 ml of warm, boiled water. Drink 1 hour before meals. The drink is taken up to 3 times a day.

To normalize the water-salt balance in the body, saline solution is used, which is administered intravenously. To relieve pain, use the painkiller Papaverine tablets. Almagel and Vikalin will help reduce acidity.

Vomiting in infectious diseases

The most common cause of sour vomiting is food poisoning. The reason for their development is the penetration of microorganisms into food products, the formation of certain metabolites and poisoning by these substances when consuming food. Most PTI are characterized by rapid development of symptoms (within a few hours) and its rapid progression: initially there is nausea, which is subsequently accompanied by vomiting. The vomit is watery, with large quantities of liquid, which is formed due to damage by the microorganism to the initial parts of the small intestine, disruption of the natural physiological processes occurring in the superficial cells of the mucous membrane and increased excretion of intracellular and intravascular fluid.

Vomiting is repeated several times until the gastric contents are completely evacuated, which includes microbial toxins and brings significant relief.

What is the cause of the pathology

The causes of acid vomiting can vary. These include:

• 
  infectious diseases;

• chronic form of gastritis;
• peptic ulcer of the stomach or duodenum;
• narrowing of the pyloric lumen;
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

All of the presented pathological processes are accompanied by increased secretion of gastric acid. There is so much juice in the stomach that when vomiting occurs, it comes out along with the vomit.

Vomiting due to infection

An infection entering the human body causes intoxication. As a result, a person develops all the symptoms of poisoning by waste products of microorganisms. Nausea and vomiting are one of them.

The disease develops rapidly if the infection enters the gastrointestinal tract. Vomiting becomes profuse and frequent. The entire contents of the stomach are expelled. If relief does not occur and vomiting continues, gastric juice begins to be released with bile.

As a rule, at this time the sick person does not take food, but the stomach is actively producing gastric juice. Its presence in vomit is felt by a sour, teeth-grinding taste.

For gastritis

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Its reasons may be:

• 
  food that is too hot or cold;

• frequent consumption of spicy foods;
• lack of regime;
• dry food;
• smoking and alcohol;
• fasting for weight loss;
• Helicobacter bacterium.

Chronic gastritis is caused by increased secretion of gastric juice. At night, when food has passed into the intestines, sour vomiting may occur. It is accompanied by pain. After vomiting, the condition improves slightly, but not for long. An empty stomach again produces juice, which has a negative effect on the mucous membrane and corrodes it. As a result, an ulcer may form.

For ulcers

An ulcer can occur anywhere on the wall of the stomach or duodenum. Normally, the human stomach is reliably protected by a layer of mucous gel that is constantly formed in it. It envelops the walls of the organ, preventing contact with secretion products.

But when a person does not eat properly, this layer is disrupted, and the walls of the stomach become vulnerable to the acid produced. In those places where the layer is thinner, an ulcer forms. An increase in acidity can also trigger its appearance.

A syndrome of irritation of the gastric mucosa and vomiting of acidic contents occurs. It occurs after eating, and after eating the pain does not go away.

With a narrowed pylorus

During the inflammatory process, spasms of the stomach and its sphincters often occur. As a result, food cannot enter the intestines. Under the influence of pressure, it is thrown back out through the esophagus.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

With this disease, a tumor develops in the pancreas, which produces large amounts of gastrin, a natural stimulator of gastric secretion. With its increased amount, the content of hydrochloric acid also increases. The mechanism of vomiting is the same as during the development of gastric ulcer. Vomiting cannot be controlled with antiemetic drugs and requires surgical intervention.

In addition to diseases of the digestive tract, vomiting can also occur with diseases of other organs. Most often it occurs with traumatic brain injuries (repeated several times and does not bring visible relief), severe cerebral strokes. Sour vomiting may indicate a decrease in stomach tone and excessive overeating (such vomiting is considered physiological and does not require the intervention of qualified specialists).

Treatment

To establish the cause, a comprehensive instrumental and laboratory examination of the gastrointestinal tract is carried out:

• blood analysis;
• Ultrasound of the gastrointestinal tract;
• radiography;
• Analysis of urine.

If necessary, MRI and CT scans of the abdominal organs are prescribed.

It is difficult to digest, because the level of acidity of gastric juice increases. Vomiting is provoked due to the progression of the ulcer or the development of malignant tumors. Patients with prerequisites for this should undergo regular medical examinations and, if signs of an ulcer or internal bleeding are detected, are treated in intensive care or surgery.

To get rid of the gag reflex, it is necessary to treat the underlying disease. There are different methods for this:

• medicinal;
• surgical;
• ethnoscience.

A doctor should prescribe treatment based on clinical examinations.

Drug treatment

Prescription of medications and therapeutic measures depends on the disease causing vomiting.

For frequent vomiting, antiemetics are prescribed.

Surgical

Surgery is performed when the ulcer is perforated or gastric resection is required. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is also treated with surgery, provided that the neoplasm in the pancreas is non-cancerous.

Traditional methods

If severe vomiting develops in an adult and if a serious pathology is suspected, the patient is hospitalized at the nearest hospital.

If emergency doctors, having arrived at the call, are convinced that the person’s condition is not in danger, and have identified simple poisoning or an exacerbation of chronic gastritis, they can leave him at home and call a local therapist to his home.

After vomiting stops, you need to follow a diet and drink as much water as possible. To eliminate dehydration, you can drink a special drug - rehydron. It comes in powder form and is available in single dose sachets. One packet of the drug should be diluted with a liter of plain water.

When you feel sick and vomit, you need to call an ambulance. Remember that all necessary treatment must be prescribed by the attending physician.

Self-medication, even with ordinary food poisoning, can be dangerous for a person. Before the medical team arrives, you can begin to provide the patient with pre-medical care.

There are many reasons why vomiting and poisoning can develop, and the doctor tries to understand them and make a diagnosis before prescribing the necessary treatment.

A decoction of maple tree leaves is a very good remedy for vomiting. To prepare it, you need to brew dry maple leaves in a glass of boiling water. After this, the broth warms up in a water bath, but does not boil. Afterwards, the broth is filtered and cooled. You need to take the decoction three times a day, ¼ cup.

You can also cure vomiting with lemon. To do this, you need to infuse lemon peels with alcohol.

Treatment of vomiting with henbane and asparagus.

To soothe the inner walls of the stomach, you can take asparagus powder. The powder is mixed with water and drunk.

If vomiting is severe and frequent, then you can use the following method. A quarter gram of dried henbane leaves is poured with half a glass of boiling water.

The resulting mixture must be evaporated over a fire until the consistency becomes like porridge. In the future, you need to dilute 2 drops of the resulting mixture with water and drink three times a day.

Henbane itself is poisonous, so it must be taken very carefully. If poisoning occurs, the only measure will be gastric lavage.

Treatment of acid vomiting largely involves eliminating its causes. Vomiting itself usually does not require special treatment. If it does not go away for more than a day, is accompanied by a strong increase in temperature, diarrhea, yellowness of the sclera and skin and other serious symptoms, then you should definitely consult a doctor.

To get rid of vomiting, special antiemetic drugs, such as Cerucal, can be used. Motilium. Metoclopramide and others. For severe attacks, intravenous injections of m-anticholinergic drugs or antipsychotics are used.

It should be remembered that in case of poisoning and food infections, vomiting cannot be stopped. After all, in this way toxins and pathogenic microorganisms are removed from the body. In such situations, treatment is primarily aimed at preventing dehydration and supporting the body.

Vomiting acid, what to do?

When vomiting acid, first of all, you need to lay the patient on a horizontal surface. At the same time, he should be provided with the opportunity to move freely in order to turn around, as well as a container for vomit.

If the patient is too weak, then his head or the entire body should be turned to one side to prevent choking on vomit. After an attack, he should be given warm water and help rinse his mouth.

In this capacity, you can use disinfectants, such as a weak solution of potassium permanganate or soda, instead of water. To stop vomiting, you can offer the patient mint drops or an ice cube.

Citric acid for vomiting

Citric acid and lemon juice are good for coping with nausea and vomiting. If you have mild nausea or after an attack of vomiting, you can take lemon juice mixed with water. If there are no repeated attacks, then you should also drink a glass of water with a teaspoon of soda added.

A mixture of honey and lemon juice in equal parts helps prevent and stop vomiting. This remedy should be consumed little by little until nausea and vomiting are relieved. You can also simply cut the lemon into pieces and inhale its scent. To relieve nausea and stop vomiting, dilute 10 drops of lemon juice, half a teaspoon of sugar and the same amount of soda in a glass of water.

Aminocaproic acid for vomiting

This drug can only be prescribed by a doctor, and is sold in pharmacies by prescription. It is available in the form of a powder from which a solution is prepared, tablets and a special solution for injection. This remedy has a hemostatic effect and is usually used after abortions and spontaneous miscarriages, surgical operations, for severe bleeding and in other similar cases.

Among other things, aminocaproic acid has an antitoxic and antiallergic effect and reduces the permeability of the vascular wall. It is used for vomiting caused by intoxication, as well as for diseases of the liver and pancreas, which can also be manifested by vomiting.

How to stop vomiting bile? First of all, you need to rinse your stomach. To do this, the patient is given two liters of warm water to drink while sitting. You need to drink quickly, without long breaks between sips. It should be remembered that this procedure is possible only if the patient has no contraindications (myocardial infarction, cholelithiasis, high blood pressure, gastritis, stomach ulcer).

for mild vomiting: antipsychotics

tranquilizers

for vomiting caused by diseases of the inner ear, antihistamines are used

In symptomatic treatment, dopamine antagonists (cerucal, metoclopramide) have the greatest effect. Cisapride, which is similar to drugs in this group (a stimulant of the motor function of the gastrointestinal tract), has a greater peripheral effect, in addition, it does not have some of the side effects of metoclopramide.

For vomiting caused by chemotherapy for cancer, serotonin receptor antagonist drugs (granisetron, ondansetron, tropisetron) are used.

To avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance with frequent vomiting, saline solutions are used: for internal use - rehydron, for intravenous administration - Ringer's solution.

calming effect: lemon balm, valerian, mint,

calming and antispasmodic effect on the gastric mucosa: dill, chamomile.

Lemon water and green tea are recommended as drinks during vomiting. Vodka with orange juice and salt is often recommended, but this method is not useful for everyone.

Until the cause of vomiting is determined, you should refrain from eating. If a child starts vomiting, do not self-medicate, seek help from a doctor.

Identified diseases and dehydration are treated. Even in the absence of severe dehydration, intravenous infusion (1 liter of 0.9% saline solution; in children - at a dose of 20 ml/kg body weight) should be administered, which often helps to reduce symptoms.

In adults, various antiemetic drugs are effective (Table 7-6).

The choice of one or another remedy depends on the underlying cause and severity of vomiting.

Typically used:

• for seasickness (motion sickness): antihistamines and/or scopolamine in the form of a patch;
• for mild to moderate symptoms: prochlorperazine or metoclopramide;
• for severe, refractory vomiting and vomiting during chemotherapy: 5-HT3 receptor antagonists.

If vomiting continues, it is necessary to prescribe drugs parenterally.

In psychogenic vomiting, establishing a trusting relationship with the patient involves understanding the discomfort they are experiencing and working together to relieve the symptoms, whatever their cause.

Remarks like “you’re fine” or “it’s an emotional problem” should be avoided. A short trial of symptomatic therapy with antiemetics may be given.

During long-term follow-up of the patient, regular follow-up visits to the doctor help resolve the underlying problem.

Causes of vomiting not related to pain

Infectious:

• Viral gastroenteritis.
• Food poisoning; Possibly HP related infection. Infections of other localizations, including inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract and pneumonia in the elderly.
• Viral labyrinthitis.

What to do if you vomit? In most cases, vomiting goes away on its own. But if the cause of vomiting is any infectious or other disease, it may have to be treated with medication.

Mint. An excellent soothing remedy against vomiting is mint or mint tea.

To make tea, simply pour boiling water over a teaspoon of mint and cover the container with something to steep the tea. You need to drink tea in small sips.

If the mint is allowed to brew for 6 hours, then it can be taken 3 times a day, 1 tbsp. spoon. This tincture will be an excellent post-emetic remedy that restores the mucous membrane and walls of the stomach.

Mint drops. If attacks of nausea with vomiting are caused by stress, then the patient can simply be given 10-15 drops of mint tincture diluted in 1 tbsp. spoon of water, then remove the victim to fresh air.

Dill. Pour 1 teaspoon of dill seeds into a glass of boiling water. Let the product brew, then use it, like mint, in the form of tea.

Maple. Dry the maple leaves well, chop them, then pour 1 tbsp. a spoonful of cooked leaves with a glass of boiling water. Next, keep the broth for 30 minutes in a water bath, but do not bring it to a boil. Then strain the product and let it cool. Take 50 ml 3-4 times a day.

Lemon. Add lemon zest juice to plain water and just drink it.

Melissa. 2 tbsp. Pour a glass of boiling water over spoons of thoroughly dried and crushed lemon balm. Leave the product to sit for 2 hours. Drink 100 ml infusion before meals.

Potato. An excellent sedative and antiemetic is potato juice, which should be taken before meals, half a tablespoon.

Asparagus. To calm the stomach and reduce the urge to vomit, take a remedy from 1 g of asparagus powder (sold in pharmacies) dissolved in a glass of warm water. The product is drunk immediately after stirring.

Pregnancy. For nausea and vomiting in pregnant women, it is recommended to eat split meals. In the morning – crackers and water with lemon juice. Add grated ginger root to your dishes. To calm your nervous and mental systems, drink green tea.

Traditional methods of treating vomiting at home include the use of herbal decoctions that have a calming effect (valerian, lemon balm, mint), an antispasmodic and calming effect on the gastric mucosa (chamomile, dill).

For drinking when vomiting, green tea and lemon water are recommended. A common folk method: vodka with salt and orange juice is not suitable for everyone; this method should not be the first to try.

You should not eat if you are vomiting until the cause of the vomiting has been determined. If your child vomits, call a doctor immediately and do not treat it at home.

Injuries to the esophagus require proper attention and examination by a specialist.

Content

After providing first aid, the doctor takes immediate therapeutic measures. The main methods of treatment are conservative, bougienage, and non-traditional (ginger).

Vomiting is a reflex act that leads to emptying of the stomach or, less commonly, the duodenum. This process is controlled by the vomiting center located in the medulla oblongata. Vomit can vary in composition and include food debris, as well as bile, mucus, gastric juice, pus, or traces of blood.

How to stop vomiting bile? It is very important to first determine the reason that caused this phenomenon. With a single attack of vomiting without subsequent relapses, not accompanied by other symptoms, no special treatment is needed.

Diet and adequate fluid intake are recommended. Otherwise, you should consult a doctor who will prescribe the necessary tests and examinations and, based on their results, will be able to make a diagnosis and select treatment.

If vomiting is a consequence of pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, then its elimination is possible only if the underlying disease is cured. In certain cases, your doctor may prescribe special antiemetic medications.

Other provoking factors

Sour vomiting may indicate the presence of gastritis. The disease can be asymptomatic for a long period. The pathology is characterized by inflammation of the mucous membranes of the digestive organ. The most common cause of the disorder is Helicobacter pylori infection and consumption of low-quality food. If not treated in a timely manner, an ulcer may form.

Another possible cause of sour vomiting is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In the presence of such a pathology, a tumor forms in the pancreas. The pathology is characterized by an increase in acidity levels. Treatment is only surgical.

Often sour vomiting is a symptom of gastritis

With this syndrome, vomiting cannot be eliminated with antiemetic drugs. Also, a sour gag reflex can signal:

• brain injuries;
• strokes;
• eating too much food.

Only a doctor can make a diagnosis. It is impossible to find out the cause of sour vomiting on your own.

What are the reasons for a pronounced sour taste when vomiting?

Sour vomiting has various causes. A diagnosis can only be made through comprehensive diagnostics. Tests can only be taken at a medical institution with a doctor’s prescription. It is impossible to make a diagnosis on your own.

Typically, the causes of sour vomiting are due to disruption of the functioning of the digestive system. It is strictly forbidden to ignore the sign, since untimely treatment leads to complications.

The symptom is common and is observed in many patients.

The causes of vomiting with a sour taste are most often associated with pathologies of the digestive system.

Gag reflex with gastric ulcers

An ulcer of the digestive organ can be localized in any part of it. The disease must be diagnosed on time, as it often leads to complications. The pathology occurs only in a chronic form. Sour vomiting bothers the patient regularly.

When the digestive organ is ulcerated, the balance between the aggressive and protective environment is disrupted. The balance is destroyed and the formation of a peptic ulcer occurs.

The pathology can be secondary and form against the background of gastritis or erosive damage. In this case, the symptoms of the additional disease will be erased. The patient will not realize for a long period of time that one disorder has developed into another, more serious one.

The disease has specific symptoms and provoking factors, which are listed in the table.

Ulcers are divided into types depending on the location of the lesion. The clinical picture present depends on the location. A painful sensation in the abdomen appears immediately after eating. The symptom disappears after a few hours. The patient has not only nausea, but also sour belching. The patient refuses to eat. Body weight rapidly begins to decline.

With a gastric ulcer, the patient experiences sour vomiting, heartburn and belching

Vomiting due to stenosis

Stenosis of the pylorus of the stomach is a complication of peptic ulcer of the digestive organ. In the presence of pathology, a narrowing of the lumen occurs. The passage of food through the gastrointestinal tract becomes significantly more difficult.

The disorder can only be acquired and occurs mainly in adulthood. With stenosis, food is not able to enter the intestinal tract in full. If treatment is not started in a timely manner, malignant cells may form.

Vomiting acid is not uncommon with this disease. The pathology occurs in three stages. The third stage is the most dangerous. There is a high risk of dehydration. The gag reflex is rapid. The condition does not provide relief. The masses have a fetid odor and the remains of undigested food.

Gastric pyloric stenosis prevents the normal flow of food into the intestines

The first stage of the disease is the mildest. Can be treated without any problems. The patient begins to complain of belching that has a sour taste. After eating, there is a feeling of fullness in the stomach. From time to time the condition improves slightly.

The first stage of the disease is characterized by the rare appearance of sour vomiting. The removal of masses from the digestive system does not provide relief. The patient's condition is satisfactory.

The second stage of the disease is characterized by a constant feeling of fullness in the abdominal cavity. In addition, there is belching and periodic abdominal pain. Body weight begins to actively decrease. I feel the sound of sand in my stomach.

The main cause of the disorder is a scar consisting of connective tissue. Its formation occurs during the healing of an ulcerative lesion.

Sour vomiting in infectious diseases

Infectious diseases are a large group of diseases that have a distinctive feature - all pathologies are provoked by pathogenic microorganisms. The causative agents may be:

• fungi;
• viruses;
• bacteria;
• protozoa.

All infectious diseases have a similar clinical picture. The main features include:

• significant loss of strength;
• sour gag reflex;
• muscle pain;
• chills;
• body aches;

Sour vomiting can be caused by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract

• increased body temperature;
• painful sensation in the joints;
• dysfunction of the intestinal tract, which manifests itself in the form of diarrhea;
• difficulty breathing;
• runny nose;
• skin rashes;
• insomnia;
• painful sensation in the throat.

The patient may have one symptom or all at once. This directly depends on the diagnosis and individual characteristics.

Regardless of the type of pathology, the disease is always accompanied by severe headache, increased temperature and sour vomiting.

At the first stages of the course of the deviation, only general signs are observed. And only over time specific manifestations are formed.

Infectious diseases always have an acute course. The intensity of manifestations is constantly increasing.
