The other day, a friend and I went out to lunch and later that evening I threw up everything that I had ate. I didn't eat much other than toast and ginger ale/water after that and I felt okay until one night I had popcorn and threw it up. It's like after I eat I feel nausous but then I'm okay. I know that I'm not pregnant, what are some other causes? And it's not the flu (no other symptoms).

Oh and my stomach isn't sour or anything like I ate something bad, it's just a queasy feeling.

Nausea and vomiting are not diseases, but rather are symptoms of many different conditions, such as infection ("stomach flu"), food poisoning, motion sickness, overeating, blocked intestine, illness, concussion or brain injury, appendicitis, and migraines. Nausea and vomiting can sometimes be symptoms of more serious diseases such as heart attacks, kidney or liver disorders, central nervous system disorders, brain tumors, and some forms of cancer.
The causes of nausea and vomiting are quite similar. Many things can bring on nausea. Some common causes are seasickness and other motion sicknesses, early pregnancy, intense pain, exposure to chemical toxins, emotional stress (fear), gallbladder disease, food poisoning, indigestion, various viruses, and certain smells or odors.
The causes of vomiting differ according to age. For adults, vomiting is commonly a result of a viral infection and food poisoning, and occasionally a result of motion sickness and illnesses in which the person has a high fever. For children, it is common for vomiting to occur because of a viral infection, food poisoning, motion sickness, overeating or feeding, coughing, and illnesses in which the child has a high fever. Although rare, blocked intestines can cause vomiting, most typically in early infancy.
Usually vomiting is harmless, but it can be a sign of a more serious illness. Some examples of serious conditions that may bring on nausea or vomiting include concussions, encephalitis, meningitis, intestinal blockage, appendicitis, migraine headaches, and brain tumors.
Another concern with vomiting is dehydration. Adults have a lower risk of becoming dehydrated because they can usually detect the symptoms of dehydration (such as increased thirst and dry lips or mouth). Children have a greater risk of becoming dehydrated, especially if the vomiting occurs with diarrhea, because young children may often be unable to tell an adult about symptoms of dehydration. Adults caring for sick children need to be aware of these visible signs of dehydration: dry lips and mouth, sunken eyes, rapid breathing or pulse; or in infants, decreased urination, and a sunken fontanelle (soft spot on top of the baby's head).

Nobody knows exactly why women suffer from nausea and vomiting
during pregnancy. These can happen due to all the physical changes that occur in the body, such as high levels of hormones in the blood. On this regard disease or other medical conditions could be the reason. Nausea and Vomiting in pregnancy are not always associated with pregnancy.

Could be acid reflux, or a food allergy. I am just grabbing at straws. How often do you eat on a regular basis and what do you eat on a regular basis. Doesn't sound like you eat very much.
Concerned....

Acid reflux can cause irritation in the esophagus to the point you vomit. Regurgitation of your food.

Maybe because your stomach is sensitive to certain foods. It sounds weird, but my cousin has it and she takes this vitamin once a day to prevent hurling

Might be indigestion due to gastritis.
