4yo DS keeps being sick during meals

He has gone into a phase of being “off food” is losing weight and disliking textures. He was previously an excellent eater who liked a whole variety of food and textures and would always be the first to try new things.

These days (every other day) he will sit down to a meal and begin to vomit in the middle of it. It comes on quite suddenly and doesn’t last long. It is over quickly and he is asking for food again about 10 minutes after.

When I ask him what’s happening he gives two answers. He “feels full quickly” or he doesn’t like the texture of the food. It’s too slimy or too wet or too “something.”

I will of course go to the doctor about it, but I’m not sure if this is a phase or a sign of something medically wrong. What do you think?

How are mealtimes generally? Are they relaxed or fraught?
I would try to keep things light and anxiety free.

Is he eating too quickly? 'Feels full quickly' could be indigestion?
Sounds generally like he's feeling a bit more aware and sensitive to what he's eating and how...
