What Causes Vomiting After Eating Rice?

I am a 43 year old male. 173 pounds, 5 9 . Many times when I eat rice (with other ingredients like in Chinese or Mexican food), I suddenly need to show it up. My gag reflex becomes so sensitive that I can t even take in water or I immediately throw up more. Usually, this lasts about 10 minutes, with me vomiting 3-4 times in that span even though I am not taking anything else in. Finally when it passes, I am fine and can eat like normal. This response is something has developed really in the last 2-3 years.

HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
Your query being appreciated, I have gone through the history given here and it could be food allergy although it is less likely and more seems to be GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease) and for that I would suggest to try Tab Omeprazole 40 mg Domperidone 10 mg once in day, it has to be continue for four week or more, infection needs to be ruled out too or it can be managed with Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days, on tentative basis hope this information helps.
