reflux /w blood

   an esophogeal bleed will come up red blood but stool out dark....
esophogeal lleds can result from reflux...the acid from the stomach will
"burn" the esophogus expecially if the stomach contens stay up for any period
of time...this can be dertermined by a ph probe that is placed in and elft
attacted to a monitor for 24 hours...child looks like he/she is carring a
walkman.....
