Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern, the nausea and vomiting episodes in the morning with light brownish tint is suggestive of gastritis and likely gastric ulcer. Treatment is supportive, diet and lifestyle changes, avoiding trigger diets like spices, fatty, spicy, dairy products. More fiber and fluids, eating small frequent meals and doing regular exercise helps. COntinue taking some omeprazole empty stomach 1 hour before meal and take some gastric motility enhancing meds and see if it helps.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Domperidone, metclopramide , levosulpride, etc are some of the many gastric motility increasing medications, Using fiber in bulk with yogurt and peppermint also helps the motility.
