Q: Blood
asked by: hayles211 on December 4th, 2006

I have just vomited blood.
I usually purge 3/4 times a day and today has been no different apart from that I have restricted a bit more (800 - 400cals).
But I was purging and some blood came up. Not a great deal but enough to notice. I thought I was imagining it until it was all over my fingers.

I think it could just be a scratch I made but im not sure. I just thought I would ask your opinions as I have heard that sometimes its not good.
Confused

It's surely not good.. :\ it's your body telling you to stop... That bleeding may be caused by the acids in your stomach.

Hi hayles. Someone in another forum asked what that could indicate and a med student was kind enough to answer. Here is the link to the post. I'd definately read it...

Oops! The link doesn't work because it keeps making capitals out of the letters after "."'s in the address. Just cut and paste the address and then change all upper case letters to lower case. It'll work then. Smile
