I had the same thing happen today... went out this weekend on Sat and got way too drunk and so yesterday started drinking early to get rid of the hangover. Drank most of the day but never got super drunk (light drinking all day with friends...) but I got home really late and woke up early with a weird tummy ache. I'm kind of bulimic too, and have really been trying hard to cut back on throwing up my food lately... only have done it a handful of times this month. I ended up throwing up while I was in the shower (yuck I know), but I didn't have my glasses/contacts on and couldn't really see it that clearly. What I did see was a bunch of like little red chunks, and a couple pretty big black sludgy looking chunks.... thought it must have been like food left over or something, but then I was thinking about it and I only ate a slice of pizza before drinking and that was really early in the evening. And my tummy has been really really bothering me all day... you think this is blood I threw up? I feel a little better now, after I ate three slices of bread for dinner lol... if it is blood, I can't afford to go to the er I'm too broke. Also, I am starting to worry about the throwing up frequently thing, and am scared that I really hurt myself but I'm not sure who I should talk to about that.... just my reg doctor, or some specialist?? Sorry for writing so much, just worried!!!
you said black liquid from mouth is not a good sign. cud u elaborate wat xactly u meant by that?
black chunks could mean half digested blood.. i had a stomach ulcer not to long ago and it happend to me... better check it out
The same thing happened to my boyfriend. I picked him up from his friends and he had drank wayy to much. He told me he was throwing up and like a black goop came out that wasn't mixing with the rest of the vomit. I watched him all night and researched what it could be. Everything I looked into said it was blood. He hasn't drank sense then and he's been absolutely fine. It's been a couple months now and there have been no further problems. So I think you're okay, just hold back on the drinking.

My husband just the word about three weeks ago that he has pancreatic cancer stage IV. He has been throwing this black stuff & alot of it, does this mean that his time is near? I'm doing my best to care for him at home with Hospice help. I'm really getting scared................
Sorry read this wrong,you meant coke the drink,very sorry as I said. when I read this wrong This is not good tho. The stomach lining is not a good thing to mess with.You should get it looked at. Glad the mac and cheese helped.
You said you were bulimic to probably the bile from your stomach .tastes awful,how much do you really drink,and use drugs?/ This doesnt' happen just in one incident.PS I am an alcoholic and addict.
I was looking at this site cause a friend of mine had a cold and was puking up black stuff (blood) and he died last night. no autopsy results yet but you should get help you could have internal bleeding. your stomach is already messed up and the booze might have torn you open.
Coke could present itself in vomit that way......
What did you eat and drink before you threw up. I don't think its your guts, or it would be bloody......
I had a family member this happened to and it was because of deteriation from your intestines....First it goes to the esophogus then into the stomach and then can have a rupture in your intestine and it can be bowel material...just want to put that out there for you...not saying thats what it is but the acid wares on all your organs and just proceeds downwards.....please ask a doc about this
Fit For Life, I'll look for that next time I'm in barnes and noble, thanks!
if it looked like "coffee grounds" then it most likely was blood, thats what they say blood will look like when mixed with stomach acids etc...if it looked like that...you should go to the hospital...
oops - i skipped the part where after i read the book and started exercising, i dropped all excess weight.. but you probably figured that out...
and with this book, you can even "pig out," it's just about food combining for maximum digestion.. it really works.
for what it's worth, i was a chubby kid, and teenager. around 21, 22 i read a book called Fit For Life.
it changed my life.
between that and exercise, i never gained all the weight back. i've gone up and down a bit, but never to where anyone would have ever called me "fat" or even "chubby" again.
i was right around your age when i made this change... just tossin' it out there.
sorry 'bout that! :-)
i want you healthy, regardles.....
warmly,
mj
it wasen't chunky at all and it tasted bitter, not like blood.
i got this from the net..copy paste
good luck and pleae goto a DR
Hey, i'm also bulimic and this has happened to me a few times. Ironically, also today. What color was the blood ? What consistency was it ?
If it was light and thin, brighter red(ish) in color that probably means you have a cut in your esophogus/throat/mouth. However, if the blood was dark brownish or even black and chunky - appearing almost like coffee grounds, with a stronger metallic blood taste, it is very serious. This could mean you ruptured an internal organ or that something is seriously wrong w/ you. This could lead to death or serious complications. If that's the case get checked out immediately.
I hope it was the lighter color.
lol for the record I'm a guy, and I'm kind of young (23), I used to be fat and I don't want to get that way again, so I'm just going to try to eat less.
I really hope that you are ok and that you cotinue to seek help for your bullemia. You're worth it!
