Brief Answer:
Not exactly contagious.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

It is very unlikely for TB stomach to spread from one person to another , but the vomit of the infected patient is infectious and if it comes in contact with mouth of another person , that person may get TB.

Else it won't spread by other means.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
