Hi and thanks for the query.

Postprandial vomiting may be because of -

1) GI causes like gastric or duodenal ulcer, hypomotility of the stomach or esophagus and conditions like achalasia or high gut obstruction.
2) As a reflex to any painful disease like cholecystitis, pancreatitis, uretric colic, appendicitis and so on
3) Systemic illnesses like renal dysfunction and uremia, hepatitis.

These can be differentiated by a good history (onset, precipitant, associated symptoms, content of vomitus), examination and some investigations (like xray, serum creatinine, sodium, potassium, liver function tests).

I would suggest you to get examined by your physician and get these investigations done to arrive at diagnosis. Treatment will follow according to cause.

I hope, I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

Regards.
