Signs of bleeding in the digestive tract depend where it is and how much bleeding there is.Signs of bleeding in the upper digestive tract includeBright red blood in vomitVomit that looks like coffee groundsBlack or tarry stoolDark blood mixed with stoolSigns of bleeding in the lower digestive tract includeBlack or tarry stoolDark blood mixed with stoolStool mixed or coated with bright red bloodGI bleeding is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease. There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.The test used most often to look for the cause of GI bleeding is called endoscopy.
