I don't think anyone can give you a list of foods to stay away from. You need to make note of what can go down and what doesn't. For instance, if bread gives you a hard time, stay away.

If your throwing up at every meal you really need to talk to your doctor. That doesn't sound good. It also sounds like you are not chewing your food well. Make sure you take small bites and chew the crap out of it. GO SLOW!!! Eat protein first, then veggie then carb if you really want it.

After you throw up, you should really be careful what your next meal is. Try to go lightly and drink fluids because your most likely irritating your esophagus. So remember puke = liquids for at least a day.

Oh one last thing Turbo, your NOT stupid..... your learning. This is a whole new world to us eating this way.

Hugs to you and don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.
