Vomiting oil

I had chicken enchiladas for dinner at my mother inlaws. The thing is she likes to fry them in a little oil to give a crunchy texture to them. Well everything was fine until I got home about 6 hours later. I was sitting up in bed and laid down on my side with my head propped up by my arm and all of a sudden I felt a burning sensation in my throat. I went to the bathroom and spat up what was oil residue from today. My throat burned even more when more came up and there was more oil residue. The bad thing is this is not the first time it happens. I usually don't get heartburn unless I'm pregnant. But I'm not and OTC Ranitidine is not helping.

I doubt if it is oil. It's more than likely bile and stomach acids. Women are more prone to gallbladder attacks like this especially if you are pregnant or have been pregnant. Get your gallbladder checked. It could be stones or the pre-stone formation. It made me sick as a dog too especially when eating fatty foods.
