When you throw up, you aren’t just throwing up what you just consumed. Your brain is deciding to eject all the content of your stomach to get whatever bad substance may be in there.

This may include other liquid or food you may have consumed in the past hour or so, as well as things like saliva and bile your stomach produces as part of normal function to digest food.
