What Could Be Purple, Leathery Lining In Vomit?
Hi, I recently suffered a stomach upset and vomiting. I vomited what appeared to be some sort of purple, almost leathery lining that I presumed was from my stomach. I have recovered since but am anxious to find out what that was as I still don t quite feel 100%.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
I m not sure as to what it might be, as there is nothing that is leathery inside stomach... must have been something that you would had eaten a few days back...or else a very very rare possibility that it was the part of the inner wall of your stomach... but i m not sure that it can come out like that...
You can get an endoscopy done to have a look inside to see if every thing is fine....if you are not feeling well
