Hello,
Foamy vomit may develop if you have excess gas in your stomach. Conditions that cause excess gas include acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In both cases you need a treatment to lower the acidity in the stomach. Thus, I suggest using Omeprazole 20 mg daily in the morning before breakfast. I also suggest using Maalox three times a day. I recommend to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
