When parents switch their child to "adult" food, they sometimes do not take into account that the child's enzyme system is not yet sufficiently developed until the age of 7-9. And when the child's body receives food that his body is not yet able to digest well enough, fermentation and putrefaction processes occur. This leads to bouts of vomiting, accompanied by the release of bile - this is how the child's body tries to get rid of unnecessary contents in the intestines.
