Common Questions and Answers about What causes vomiting of undigested food
vomiting
the last two days I've had food come out of my stool undigested the first time was a baked potato the second day it was my vegetables like I had corn carrots and either been or peas. I'm pretty scared about this seems not right. What should I do?
Is the vomit digested food, like a pool of liquid? Or undigested food, sort of in the shape of a big comma? If the latter, kitty might have a blockage or simply a hairball issue. Have you ever had a barium x-ray done of the cat's esophagus?
Have you noticed what he's doing before he vomits? My previous cat had a big problem with eating too fast as well as things she shouldn't be eating. Try to encourage your cat to drink a little more. He may just have an upset stomach.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Chronic diarrhea that contains undigested food may be a symptom of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disorder of the lower intestinal tract. Additional symptoms of IBS can include abdominal pain, swelling, chronic or frequent bouts of constipation (between bouts of diarrhea), emotional stress and loss of appetite. If you experience chronic diarrhea and any number of these signs, discuss your symptoms with your doctor to determine whether you have IBS.
Vomiting that occurs after a few hours after taking food and which contains undigested food could indicate obstruction of the gastric outlet or the upper small intestine. Crohn's can cause narrowing of the gut and obstruction.
If it is persisting get yourself examined by your doctor.
Cats are also notorious for developing IBD (irritable bowel disease/syndrome) that causes vomiting and or diarrhea. Because the food is undigested, I worry about a condition called megaesophagous and she is regurgitating her food, or some type of mass along her esophagus/in the stomach, or even inside her chest that is compressing her esophagus. I would HIGHLY recommend taking her to the vet and having a neck/chest xray to rule these things out. Blood work would also be highly recommended.
In the last year i have had a few episodes of constipation and have found that when i do any food that has been eaten that day causes me to be sick and the food is undigested and is very hard to bring up as its all merged together with no liquid to help it. This only happens when im constipated, as soon as im back to having diarrhea it doesnt happen although i do have nausea on most occasions.
He vomits early hours of morning undigested food, which sometimes is what he had for breakfast. He has diarrhoea every morning usually 2-3 episodes.
Generally he is in good form. Doctor tried rinitidine which doesn't seem to have helped. He has been referred to children's but I was just wondering what this could be.
I then went to my GP who prescribed Ensures and the vomiting stopped until I was told to add solid food back into my diet. The vomiting then returned. It is always undigested and can come up in sausage like shapes. I have had numerous tests but they always come up clear. Any ideas as to what this can be? Thanks.
Please consider talking with your doctor about the burning and the vomiting that brings up long undigested food. Food should pass out of the stomach and on into the rest of the GI tract within an hour or so of eating. If you're retaining food in your stomach, you could be experiencing delayed gastric emptying or other gastric issues and may need to have some testing done to find the cause of the problem.
I have GERDS and a Hiatal Hernia. I see a Gastroenterologist next Wednesday. For several years I've been vomiting everything I eat and drink. I eat, then go immediately to the bathroom. I do NOT have an eating disorder. I've tried to keep the food/beverage down but with each belch, I get a mouth full of food. If I try not to vomit, I'm constantly swallowing undigested food. It's coming up no matter what. I'm not nauseous at all.
Six months ago Lucy began vomiting her food several hours after eating. A few gags, up would come undigested food. Then George did the same. Lucy stopped but then the next day Gracie started, etc. All the dogs including the Pug have vomited on and off. Some for a few days, some just once and then not for a while.
Per our vet:
We fed once a day instead of twice, then tried three times. We switched from Iams to Hill's IB prescription dry food, adding plain rice.
My daughter vomits frequently in the middle of the night (after which she goes back to sleep without any problems). Typically there is a large amount of undigested food. This past summer I took her to see the doctor and he ordered an MRI. We found an arachnoid cyst in the middle cranial fossa. It's fairly small and two neurosurgeons stated that her cyst was not causing the vomiting.
My two year old nephew has the same thing. He is currently waiting to have an endoscopy. Has anyone had a diagnosis of a genetic abnormality? My nephew is adopted and the doctors still think that might hold a link. Has anyone ever have this as a child in your families? We live in Illinois and he's already been to a pediatric GI specialist. He didn't seem to have this problem until about 18 months old. As a baby no vomiting issues at all. Is that the same for you all too?
The most obvious causes for your dog's symptoms include:Giardia, Pancreatitis, HGE, IBD, Parvo, and stress colitis. Another possibility is a GI foreign body (The GI foreign body would require a barium study and possibly surgical removal of the object). There are snap tests for giardia, pancreatitis and parvovirus that can be performed in-house immediately.
These diseases, except a GI foreign body require symptomatic therapy at the vet's office.
Stool and sweat still smell foul, and I’ve also noticed I’m not quite absorbing food the way I should be, it seems to pass through me undigested. I’m really concerned it might be cancer, a lot of the information I find online( which is always scary) seems to point to celiac disease, which is actually preferable to cancer, obviously.
I was just wondering if anybody had experienced something similar and could help me understand what’s going on with me.
for about 3 years now,progressivly getting worse, i havnt been able to digest food after i eat i will vomit totally undigested food it can take any where from 1 hour up to days afterward.
