What Causes Black Vomiting And Bowel Movement?
My brother in law has had black vomit and bowl movements since 2 AM this morning. He is 50 years old and is about 220 lbs 6 feet tall. He had a stint put in about 3 years ago. I would guess that he has some internal bleeding but he will not go to the ER. What is your take on his condition?
