A member asked:

Ive spoken with a doctor about this. im looking for other opinions: i have autoimmune gastritis. i vomited blood 6 weeks ago. a cbc showed no sign of active bleeding. no bloody vomit since. does this mean theres no longer blood down there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily. CBC does rule out active bleeding. You may have an ulcer that bled 6 weeks ago and could bleed again. It would be prudent to have an upper GI barium study or better upper endoscopy.
