Question:
I have no problem fasting. However, as soon as I break my fast and eat or drink anything, I feel uneasy and start vomiting. I have consulted many physicians and have taken different ulcer medications, but to no avail. What can I do?

You must consult an internal medicine doctor who is specialized in the digestive system. You must also get some tests done: get an MRI done for the esophagus and an allergy test to see whether or not you are allergic to any type of food that could be causing these symptoms. What is happening to you could be the result of food coming back from the stomach to the esophagus, or due to gastritis. Sometimes a hernia or an infection in one's esophagus may cause the symptoms you mentioned. Certain types of allergies could also lead to what you are suffering from.
