Intense exercise is what causes it for me
I'm eating anything I want.

So your wanting to throw up

is this after every meal, or only after high fat meals?  Or is it after drinking milk?

I'm going through the same thing here, and it's from the same reason.  Antibiotics.  I had a sinus infection in late January, and was given Augmentin - 875mg for it.  I took 2 doses, and threw up the last dose and figured that's it!  No more.  I went back to the doctor, and they said I had a side effect of the antibiotic.  But shit, it's March now and it's still a problem and I've dropped 30 lbs.  I'm not throwing up anymore, but it's shooting out the other end, except when I take Pepto after I eat. 

I've been to see a surgeon and I'm scheduled to go to a Gastro..... something doctor this coming Thurs.  No one can figure out what the scoop is.  My doctor gave me this prescription strength sample - Protonix, which doesn't do shit.  What works for me is Pepto Bismal and Maalox, truthly.  I've given up Mtn. Dew, milk, cheese, chocolate, anything with any kind of fat in it, beef, fresh vegetables.  The only things I'm eating are rice, saltine crackers, chicken, turkey, dry cereal [Sugar puffs], cooked vegetables, and water.  That's it. 

If you find out something that works, please let me know.
