Bilious vomit 

Grass-green to dark-green vomit. Bilious vomit contains bile and can be a symptom of intestinal obstruction or Ileus.

The most common cause of the bump is a hernia (abnormal exit of tissue or organ, such as bowel, through the abdominal wall), the tenderness and/or discoloration is a sign of possible incarceration (hernial content is trapped, leading eventually to blood circulation disorder and necrosis).

Worms in stool
