 BLEEDING FROM THE MOUTH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Although this could happen if blood from a nosebleed is swallowed, for example, the commonest cause of "coffee-ground" vomiting is bleeding fom the stomach or duodenum, usually indicating an ulcer or inflammation of the lining (gastritis, duodenitis).
Repeated vomiting often causes a tear of the lining of the gullet and so some bleeding - in this case there are usually one or two "normal" vomits before some blood is seen mixed with the other vomited material.
Unlike with vomited blood the quantity of blood loss is rarely the problem - unless there is a serious underlying lung problem which is, usually, well known to the patient, carers and the doctor.
