Help! I've been sick now twice in the past three weeks.
My first illness: I never vomited, but it took me about 4-5 days to get over it and back on my feet.
My second illness: I have vomited four times in the past 10 hours.
The 2nd and 3rd times I vomited parts of food that I had eaten in the past days, such as the lettuce from a DQ chicken sandwich and parts of a dish called Dirty Rice, made by Tony Chaceres (sp?).
The 4th time the vomit was an olive green color.
It seems like when I went back down to rest, I allowed the contents in my stomach to settle, then when i have gotten up, I've had to vomit.
Sorry if that was a bit too much information, but I figure the more information I provide, the more accurate answers I might get.
Is it just a coincidence? Was the first illness just the flu and could the second illness possibly have been food poisoning?
I don't regularly get sick, and this is the first time I've vomited in 3-4 years.
Thanks to repliers!!!

Sounds to me like a stomach virus of some kind. Some can last up to seven or more days, and only exhibit signs every now and then. You should probably go to your doctor so they can give you antibiotics.

It seems like you are currently suffering from a stomach virus, or the " Stomach Flu". The best way to heal this is to just keep on throwing up and going to the bathroom. This is the way the bacteria will exit your system. As far as eating, it sounds like your eating a little to heavy. First of all, drink water often, while throwing up will dehydrate you. Now as far as eating goes. Start off very light liquidity foods, such as warm chicken broth, jello, yogurt. Do not eat untill your full. Just a small serving of food. Then after your stomach holds that without vomiting, move onto some toast or dry noodles. This will slowly Build your stomach back to normal.

could be the stomach flu, and the two instances may just be coincidence. i would also be looking at gallstones. especially with the last emesis being green (bile).
