I just puked up this thick foam with a decent amount of blood in it........?

Question

.

I sometimes get this condition where if I have an empty stomach and I try to eat some acidic foods (or other foods that would normally upset your stomach) I feel like I will be on the verge of vomiting and my mouth will fill with saliva - and it will last usually about 5-8 mins and usually goes away a lot quicker if I drink water (if I can manage to gulp it down while I'm choked up)

Anyways, that was just the case where I took a few bites of this rice with pepper sauce and this time I actually vomited this really thick foam (almost string-like) and the second time I threw up the foam was red with blood.

What could cause this condition and what should I do about it?

Answer 1

You could be suffering from a condition called Mallory Weiss syndrome

Mallory-Weiss syndrome refers to a tear or laceration of the mucous membrane, most commonly at the point where the esophagus and the stomach meet. Such a tear may result in severe bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract. The immediate cause of the lesion is usually a protracted period of vomiting. Try eating low in acid such as citrus,spicy things, or anything you would get heartburn from. You should problably go see a doctor as well.

Answer 2

Maybe you have an ulcer. See a doctor, it sounds serious.

Answer 3

see your doctor it could be acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD.

Answer 4

If you've eaten any acidic foods in the past, or on a regular basis, you may have a stomach ulcer. It may also be ingredients contained within the food that your ingesting. You may be sensitive to certain starches (the rice) or spices (the pepper.)
