General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I think you are having bile reflux, please let me know if you are having heartburn or abdominal pain, it will help me arrive at a diagnosis. Green colored vomitus usually contains bile and since you are experiencing recurrent vomiting your vomitus contains a lot of bile.

Also let me know if you are passing gas or stools to rule out intestinal obstruction. Abdominal ultrasound is recommended.

Please let me know if this was helpful and do ask for any more queries.

Regards,
Dr. Akash Kumar
