What Causes Flesh Colored Chunks In The Vomit?
My five your old son has thrown up flesh colored chunks, looks like raw chicken, 3 times over the past week. I can assure you that we have not had chicken during this time. We went to the doctor today and they took an x-ray. We didn't get the results yet. What might they be looking for?

Hello,
Most of the time it could be due to diet taken, second the vomiting could be due to viral infection or it may be food allergy, ideally vomiting material needs to be sent for lab test instead of x-ray test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
