Do we puke stomach acid alongside the substances that our stomach doesn’t want to digest? If we do, does our esophagus, teeth, tongue etc. get damaged in the process? If we don’t, how and why?
In: Biology
Yes and yes. When you vomit, you vomit *all* of your stomach contents, and that includes stomach acid. While an occasional incident of vomiting is not enough to cause any damage, repeated, frequent vomiting, such us in people with eating disorders who cause themselves to vomit on purpose on a regular basis, long-term damage to the teeth and esophagus can occur.
