I actually remember reading about a case similar to yours on cracked.com of all places. The guy would vomit out any food he ate and it continued for months.

Apparently, he had a respiratory infection, but instead of lungs it went to his guts and messed his digestive system up. He ended up taking antipsychotics to trick his body into thinking that everything was fine.

Hooray. Unfortunately, that's not me. For one thing, when this started I was on an antipsychotic (not because I'm psychotic, it's for a nerve disorder, but I don't take it anymore) and for another, and this is one of the weird parts, I never have thrown anything up. It's always a dry heave. Even when I was able to eat.
