Vomitting
31 Answers
I suspect this isn't an easy to answer to question......
Once you have eaten a meal what is the normal time for it to process through the digestive tract and no longer be vomittable?
And how long is a piece of string?

Cannot answer specifically but a straight C&P here...
Sqad hates me for those
about six to eight hours
Digestion time varies between individuals and between men and women. After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food.

Eccles, not everything eaten goes through the system at the same speed. So if something has been particularly tough to break down in the stomach, it may end up being vomited several hours after. In may case, the tougher bits of broccoli can linger longer and so if I were to cough it up it would be present.
\\\Yes, vomiting is abnormal but it seems that in an otherwise healthy person they can eat some meals with out issue yet others are vomited. \\
Do they? If they are healthy, then they don't vomit.
\\\Could something which their system finds indigestible be rejected and consequently vomited rather than fully entering into the digestive system?\\
If they vomit, the "stuff" is already in the digestive system.
Eccles........get to the point.

Some meals seem to be digested without issue but others are not and vomiting occurs. A far as can be determined wheat is a common factor.
It just struck me as odd that five hours after eating the person in question was throwing up as it seemed a long time after the meal but they often feel that their meal 'sits' rather than transiting.
