Feedback:
Vomitus that contains bile is yellowish or greenish. Presence of coffee ground-like material in vomitus is a sign of bleeding in the lower digestive tract. When the vomitus contains intestinal contents that have been forced back, there is a fecal odor, not a coffee ground-like material. In case of gastric bleeding, the vomitus may contain bright red blood.
