Usually, the throwing up bile caused by the intestinal blockage comes along with the abdominal pain (due to the stuck of feces) and constipation.

    A hernia is the common cause of intestinal obstruction. The intestine is so weak that there’s almost no mobility to move the food and feces down to other parts of the intestine.

    Adhesion as a consequence of post-surgery complication or some inflammatory bowel disease can also lead to intestinal blockage and a throwing up bile, as well.

    Cancer, some tumors inside the intestinal lumen, and even diverticulitis are the causes of intestinal obstruction, too.

    2. Food poisoning or food allergy.
    The reason why food poisoning and food allergy are listed in the same group is these two issues can lead to one reaction- nausea and vomiting. This reaction is one of the protective response to the foreign substances.
    When the response is too strong and causes a powerful retching feeling, accompanying with an empty stomach, the gallbladder juice or also known as bile mixing up with the gastric juice and go out of your esophagus as the vomiting material.

    But when you have food poisoning, fever and abdominal cramp can happen while you will have some anaphylaxis responses like rashes, runny nose, and breathing along with throwing up bile.
