Just a few notes,
1) try taking "align" it is an excellent over the counter probiotic that replaces the good bacteria that have been killed because of an excess of stomach acid, this is one of the few products that actually works.
2) eliminate all dairy foods and replace them with lactose free dairy milk, and lactose free ice cream. Once your stomach is damaged it may have lost the ability to digest certain proteins in dairy products, go lactose free, it can make a big difference.
3) eliminate gluten products, that is the wheat based products like bread, roles and donuts, gluten can cause inflammation and make you vomit.
4) go to the gastroenterologist and get an "endoscopy", chances are you have ulcers that have caused scar tissue that can create blockages and make you vomit. Ask you doc to dialate the gastric opening to your stomach during the endoscopy, to make it easier for food to go down.
5) stop smoking, it increases the acidity of your stomach acid by 200 percent which burns even deeper ulcers in your stomach.
So Captain, hope this gets you moving in the right direction.
6) get yourself tested for h-pylori bacterial infection, which is often the cause of more than half of the ulcers out there.
7) become a BRAT for a few days, that is fall in love with bananas, rice, apple sauce, and just maybe gluten free toast.
Do this when you cannot keep food down, as these may be the only foods your stomach can tolerate, you do need food.
8) lastly, baked or grilled fish and grilled chicken is much easier to digest beef or pork, so try to avoid beef, lamb (gyro) and pork.
9) forget liquor, like whisky as your stomach cannot handle it any more.
