Hi,

I understand your concern.

Vomiting you're experiencing this morning is due to an acute illness and not due to psyllium husk seeds you've been using for 3 weeks now.

Food poisoning is another option.
I advise you to keep drinking plenty of plain water until the vomit would stop.

Then, start taking oral rehydration salts to replace the lost fluids and electrolytes. Take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora and antivomit OTC meds containing ginger. If you drink ginger tea, that's better.

If no improvement, should go to ER to prevent dehydration.

Wish fast recovery.
