Re: When you burp and v comes up
It's not vomit, and it's not vomiting to do it. Vomiting is a specific act of expelling the stomach contents through the mouth. Material goes from the stomach, up, and out of the body in one motion. When you burp, whatever comes up only goes as high as your throat. It is up to you to decide what to do with it when it's in your throat. Even if you spit it out, it is not vomiting. It is spitting.
Furthermore, vomit has intestinal content in it. The unforgettable smell and taste of vomit comes from butyric adic, produced in the small intestine. Stomach acid has no taste at all.
