5) Vomiting
Vomiting is another common symptom of gastric ulcers. It may vary from person to person in both incidence and frequency. You may experience vomiting after every meal or 1-2 times a day. The vomitus is usually yellow and contains stomach material and freshly eaten food. It may also be followed by abdominal pain or cramps.
Bleeding occurs from an ulcer site if there is a broken blood vessel in the stomach or an ulcer has eaten its way into the blood vessel. It will appear as fresh or occult blood in the vomitus. If you experience fresh or coffee-colored blood in the vomitus, which only happens with severe ulcers and indicates the erosion of the stomach lining, call your health care provider right away.
