A little scared here:

[ADNK 0]

I'm almost 3 months out. No problem, eating small amounts slowly etc. Minor indigestion problems... Until today

I ate a sausage too fast, and I vomited. It came up red. (now I had had some ketchup on the sausage, so I'm hoping it was that).. It was, however, a very bright red and blood-like color.

Is it possible to tear something this far out? What symptoms will I get if I've really damaged something here?

Anything could be possible, but if I were you, I would go to the doctor to get yourself checked out. . . how do you feel now? Nauseated? if your feeling really nauseated it could have been blood, have you vomited again? Please go to the doctor. . . sorry I can't help much. . .

Please try not to be scared. It was probably the ketchup. See how some gentle and mushie food over this weekend and if you have any signs of vomiting and/or blood than I would go to the ER. I am concerned. Please keep us updated.

I have had no after affects. I took it easy on the intake for the rest of the day and no problem. I'm pretty sure it was the ketchup.< /p>

I will NEVER eat that fast again. What a lesson!

Ann, Glad to hear that you are ok. I have made myself sick twice while learning how to eat. I can say that I learned my lesson too.

I've found ketchup to be a little too acidic for my tummy right now. We are a true "condiment" family, and I love, love, love ketchup. The weirdest thing is that I can eat salsa and chips like a champ without any problem. But, give me a little ketchup, and my burping up ickiness for a couple of hours. I don't get it at all.

I'm glad you didn't have any after effects, and are feeling better.

Maybe it's the sugar or HFCS in ketchup? Good salsa doesn't have much, if any, added sugar (in my Texan opinion!)

I'm not sure, but heavy marinara or Pasta sauce gives me the same results. It's the weirdest thing because I can eat jalepenos, heavy garlic, but give me ketchup, Pasta Sauce, or orange juice, and I'm hurting quite a bit.

I'm the same way Tiffy - and I have issues with Mayonnaise too -- haven't figured that one out yet, but it really hurts my stomach. I gave up on spaghetti sauce, which bums me out because I really liked it on the ricotta bake.
