HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The main causes of increased liver enzymes are: (1) non alcoholic liver disease- this is liver disease not related to alcohol use.

Occurs in persons with increased weight, decreased activity, poor diet, diabetes, history of high cholesterol

(2)alcohol use

(3) infection

(4)trauma

(5)side effect of medication such as statins

If related to alcohol or medications, discontinuation would help. If due to infection then treatment of the infection is needed.
If due to non alcoholic liver disease then lifestyle changes would be important.

The episodes of vomiting may be related to the food used since you stated it was a little greasy.

I hope this helps
