Brief Answer:
Pancretitis won't cause bleeding; stomach ulcer...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation your daughter is in.

Pancreatitis is not associated with blood in vomit. Blood is sign of a possible penetrative stomach ulcer that can cause pancreatitis. This is a life threatening complication of stomach ulcer which need an emergent evaluation and treatment.

So my advice is that you should send her to ER as she need immediate evaluation and treatment.

Wish fast recovery!
