[...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I know this sounds horrible but I ate beef stew last nite with carrots potatoes and celery that's all that was in it. The broth was brown. I woke up severe anxiety and adrenaline shoots ate too much right before bed then vomited early am and it's kind of pinkish. Can food change to this color or do you think I might have some blood in there? Sorry for this dramatic post. I'm very scared and am considering going to the ER but I fear that they might force me to detox (maybe not, but it's just a huge fear I have) Sorry for this disgusting post just want ot knowif ayone knows if this is blood or not? can carrots change to pinkish? thanks you also does anyone know the safest stomach med during w/d? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Fl...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Kian, you will know if you're vomiting blood. There is no guess work. Yes, food changes color while digesting. If youve only thrown up a time or two, don't worry about it. If you keep throwing up and cannot stop, even when there is nothing left to throw up, then it might be time for concern. Good luck, breathe Flip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Gr...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I agree with Flip. Sadly, I have quite a bit of experience with vomiting blood from when I hit rock bottom with my alcoholism. I was surprised to see that blood does not come up pink or red. My blood was very dark, almost black and looked like coffee grounds. Of course that is just my experience. If you continue to vomit and cannot stop then it's worth getting checked.. Hope everything turns out alright for you. Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[cn...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 doesnt sound like blood to me man. Bile is sometimes pinkish. When foods get broken down it can look pinkish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm betting on the blueberries. They can also turn stool black and lead to concerns of blood in stool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[pr...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 ditto Grace, blood in vomit actually looks dark like coffee grounds, not pink. I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy Kian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
