Vomiting bile is a fairly common reaction that has happened to all of us on some occasion, since it occurs mainly when vomiting persists or it occurs when the stomach is empty.is it bile? What is it for? When and why do we vomit it?
Vomiting bile, when does it occur and why?
Bile or gall is that liquid and viscous substance, yellow and bitter taste continuously manufactured by the liver, which is produced by the command to the gallbladder, where it is stored.The bile is composed of water, cholesterol, lecithin, bilirubin (the result of the decomposition of red blood cells ), bile salts (sodium gluconate and sodium taurocholate) and to terminate bicarbonate ions.
The function of bile in the body is very important because on the one hand it dissolves and on the other it penetrates.in the digestive processes in order to emulsify the fats and that these are digested later, it also makes it possible for fat-soluble vitamins such as: D, K, E and A to be released so that they can be absorbed Bidas by the organism.It also has a neutralizing action of excess stomach and bactericidal acids because it manages to eliminate the microbes that enter with food and detoxify that minimizes alcohol and drug damage.
But all these wonderful functions are fulfilled within the duodenum. What happens so that bile leaves the duodenum? As we said at the beginning, the bile can reach the stomach when, after a long session of vomiting, the stomach is empty but the spasms do not stop, causing the pyloric valve to open and letting the bile pass to the stomach and this in turn expels it.
And this is what happens physically so that we vomit bile.But the reasons that cause the pyloric valve to open and let bile pass range from the intense vomiting caused due to gastroenteritis, an allergic reaction to a food, excessive alcohol intake or also a malfunction of the valve, caused by a peptic ulcer, or an intestinal obstruction, this is when the small intestine suffers a blockage to the bending incorrectly causing severe pain, vomiting and breathing difficulties, among other effects.Also reflux Biliary is another disease that can cause bile vomiting.
As you can see the causes are very varied, so it is convenient to consult with a doctor if bile is vomited to apply the appropriate treatment.Share and comment on this post with your friends.
