Though, he did send a sample off to be However, I woke up this morning feeling worse. Ive tried to throw up at least a dozen over the course of the day and the only thing that comes up is foam with little steaks of bright red blood. What could possible cause this? Ive even tried intentionally purging and nothing happened. Im worried because I have eaten enough food recently that I should be able to throw up back up. Also, what could cause the foam and blood?

Hi thanks for your question. Do not worry based on my experience, after endoscopy most of my patients have similar feelings. Just take over the counter nausea medication, and you will be key. Endoscope tube causes minor trauma to lining of the gastrointestinal tract and that is why you have foam and blood.this nausea should stop in 2 to 3 days, if it continues then see surgeon for review. Hope I answered your question.
