Hi,

Morphine is an opioid which decreases intestinal motility by U receptor. Green vomit is billiary vomit. In our body, everyday, 1.5 liters of secretion is produced in our gut.

Whether you eat or not, you will still have secretions. So if have constipation, it may come as vomitus. Please try to consume fluids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
