Usually it is triggered through one of two mechanisms: either there is a problem in the stomach or other part of the digestive tract, or something is affecting the vomiting center in the lower part of your brainstem. Most commonly it originates in the stomach, as a reflex action in response to either excessive stretching or something noxious. (For example, if you eat too much or too quickly, or if you eat something that's toxic. Fluids will do this too...witness the common situation when people have drunk way too much alcohol.) It may also happen when there is an obstruction somewhere in the intestine. In other cases it comes from the brainstem, which is why vomiting is a symptom of some kinds of brain tumors or increased pressure in the brain. In the latter case it is often NOT preceded by nausea.

We throw up when our stomach is irritated or overfilled. Some people throw up because their stomachs don’t pass food easily and food flows backwards into the esophagus. But most people throw up because of an irritated stomach caused by—yes, you guessed it—viruses or bacteria. Those little buggers cause so many problems! When you have an irritated stomach, be easy on it and drink light liquids. After some rest, the stomach will recover and go back to work for you. It is not normal to throw up unless you’re a baby.
