What Could Be The Reason If Vomiting Frequently After Eating In An 89 Yr Old?

Mr. McDaniel is 89 years old and in the last 6 months has started to experience vomiting after he eats. Sometimes it is within minutes. He stated it starts with a burp and then he will vomit. No cramping or pain with it. It does not happen with every meal and not every day but is becoming more frequent.
