Ok, there are a lot of causes of abdominal pain. BLEEDING would be a bad sign and need immediate attention. This is of course shown by throwing up blood. That is not common. MORE common is dried/coagulated/digested blood which looks like coffee grounds (brown/dark/black/or maroon and rough not necessarily liquid).
AND, one can have black poop if it goes out the other end. Ulcers used to be in the top 10 causes of death.
THen.. there's a rip in the stomach/abdominal wall or diaphram from violent vomiting. Painful, if bleeding it is serious, without bleeding, not as serious as you'd expect most of the time.
Then, there's irritation, no bleeding, common, not serious.
