It sounds as though you have a phobia. If this is the case, as well as trying to prevent yourself from being ill, talk to your doctor and ask for a referral to a therapist. There are various methods used in dealing with phobias and different ones work for different people. You may need to try them all before you find what works best for you. There is confrontational therapy, hypnosis, nueral linguistic programming (NLP), regression to name just a few.
As for the stomach aches, it depends on the cause. If it is stress, try to find ways to relax. Different things work for different people. If it is dietry related, try to narrow down what is causing it, then cut it out of your diet. If you're not sure of the cause, again, you need to see your doctor.
The doctor may also be able to give you some medication to try to prevent you throwing up, you will need to explain the situation in detail though.
It is truly horrible thing to have to go through and I do sympathise. Hope that helps and the best of luck to you.

Medicine: Gravol, Pepto-Bismol, no-name travel tabs, really anything on the market should help. Try a few and figure out which one addresses your problem. I have some real trouble with motion sickness and I use Gravol to keep my stomach calm.
Another odd trick to stop vomiting is to spit. Sounds weird but I'll explain. When your body is preparing to vomit it creates extra saliva to protect your throat and mouth from the stomach acid and bile, a lot of people find if they spit this extra saliva out or even just swallow it, they can stave off vomiting. Doesn't work for everyone, but is worth a try.
Lastly, watch what you eat. Somethings are harder to digest then other things. Figure out what makes you sick, and don't be dumb about it. If you are feeling ill, don't have a bowl of ice cream or a glass of milk, that wont make you feel better.
