Hello mbg,

Tuberculosis of the lymph nodes is treated with 4 medications in the initial phase. The treatment includes Rifampcin, (in the red capsule). This medicine can stain your urine and spit a shade of orange-red. This coloration usually lasts for 4 to 6 hours after taking the capsule.

If an ulcer from the stomach bleeds, blood usually comes out with vomiting, not in the spit. The vomitus may be coffee-ground in color and appearance. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease usually produces some food-related pain. Do you have the cramps following food? Gastro-esophageal reflux disease is usual in over-weight people. Are you obese?

Any antibiotic or other medicine can irritate the stomach. A discussion with your treating doctor will solve your problem in this regard.

Hope your lymph node problem gets cured at the earliest. Thanks for using healthcaremagic.com
