                                Vomiting bile indicates your stomach is empty, and your body is expelling greenish-yellow fluid from the small intestine. The immediate priority is not eating, but waiting a while and focusing on gentle rehydration to prevent dehydration. Only after the stomach has settled should you consider introducing small, bland foods to ease your digestive system back into functioning.
