A member asked:

Where does the blood go if your stomach is bleeding?

Dr. Michael Rothman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Into your bowel: The blood would get digested in your system (and turn black) and you would end up with black, tarry stools. Unless the bleeding was very rapid, then it could still be red. The other possiblilty is that you could vomit the blood.

Dr Hoepfner and another doctor agreed
