Question about the vomiting scene?

Was... Was it real? Jennifer seemed to be producing substances from nowhere in that scene. No way could she chew up that much and hold it in the back of her throat.

It's actually not that hard to vomit for some people. All you really have to do for this is pound liquid down your throat (in Jennifer's case water), heave with all your might and that's it. It was either just this for the sink "poison!" scene or Argento gave her a vomit-inducing pill. This is actually the best I've ever seen Connelly act. Not just beautiful, but very talented actress.

All the actual vomit projectile is shown from the side of her face, which likely means that a tube was placed against her off-camera cheek to spew liquid.
