Vomiting due to ulcer

my husband has an ulcer and cannot stop vomiting bile. His food stays down, but the bile keeps coming up. Zofran has not helped and none of the other medications have helped either. is there anything we can do at home to ease this? We have gone to the emergency room and all they do is give him Zofran and Protonics then send him home. he has no gall stones (2 cat scans and 2 ultrasounds confirm this). Please help!

We are getting treatment! What in my post suggests otherwise?
We have been in and out of the hospital for weeks. He has seen two GI doctors, had an endoscopy and countless other tests. They have put him on carafate and Zofran, but neither stops the vomiting. They can find no stones in his gallbladder either and I have put him on a bland diet. The problem is that it isn't food coming up its bile.

Hi,
   How old is your husband? If it is diagnosed as ulcer, why don't you get it treated?
Avoiding spicy food, using home made yogurt, honey etc., might help, you can Google and get more ulcer friendly food items. However, consulting a good GI doctor and following his advice is the right way to go.
