She can eat eggs, turkey and any other kind of meat but chicken seems to be her enemy. Anyone know what this is called and if there is a way she can cure or take anything to help her. (And yes, avoiding chicken is one of the options.)

The technical term is called a "Food Allergy" and the only treatment is avoidance. She doesn't need to see a Doctor unless her reactions are increasing in severity and could possibly result in anaphylaxis, a rare condition where the body shuts down and can result in death.
If she wants to find out for sure what else she is allergic to, a board certified allergist can help her by running a few relatively painless tests called a RAST (blood test) and a SPT (skin ***** test).
My question would be, why does she eat it when she vomits afterwards?

Does she get sick if she eats a hot dog or lunch meat that has chicken in it and she does not know it? I am allergic to chicken and turkey and I have to avoid it in hot dogs and other processed meats. It is possible to eat chicken without knowing it at the time. I don't know of any cure for it. I can eat any meat that is not poultry. I am also allergic to eggs. She may become allergic to eggs later in life.

If she's allergic, there's nothing anyone can do. She'll have to avoid eating chicken for the rest of her life. But, I would suggest having her go to a doctor and getting an allergy test, because if she's that allergic to chicken, there may be other food allergies she's not aware of.

Where do you buy the chicken? a supermarket maybe beside other foods? in a restaurant. She may be allergic to what ever oil it is cooked in. it may have a sesoning or coating she is allergic to. Shes probably allergic to the chiken its self , get her to have a blood test with her doctors or health clinic to confirm. Food, especially chicken , had been so tampered with companies so buy organic if you can. Does she come out in a rash, does her mouth swell, if so this is a medical emergancy and she should really carry an epipen (adrenaline) with her, see the doc asap. She may have worse reactions in the future watch that. Get her to keep a food diary and finally does she have any reflux or stomach probs? good luck mate

Your g/f needs to see her doctor. She's got a chicken allergy for some reason, so she needs to give it up completely. Some allergy reactions become more severe as time goes by. There is no cure for food allergies.

if your gf is allergic to chickens, then she needs to see an allergist to get tested because she could allergic to alot more things. Until that day, dont serve chicken or anything with chicken in it.
