🤮 Vomiting can be caused by many conditions, both GI and non-GI. There are many different sources of input throughout the body that feed into the vomiting centre in the brain, which ultimately causes nausea and vomiting.
💊 Generally, causes of vomiting can be divided into those originating in the digestive tract, causes in the sensory system or brain, emetics (medications that induce vomiting) and some others. The acronym ‘VOMITING’ is a useful way of remembering the various categories of causes of vomiting.
