Can trapped gas cause nausea and vomiting?
After eating certain foods, I often get a lot of gas and feel really nauseous. A couple of times, I even ended up vomiting. Could this be purely because of trapped gas?

Yes, severe trapped gas can definitely make you feel nauseous and even cause vomiting. It's actually very common.
Personally, whenever I eat heavy food too late at night, the trapped gas makes me feel incredibly nauseous by morning. I usually just sip warm water and let my stomach rest. I am not a doctor, but this is what happens to me.
Bro same here, whenever I eat greasy hostel food, the gas gets so bad that I feel like throwing up. Honestly, walking around my room and drinking some lemon water is the only thing that saves me.
It can, but before spending thousands on expensive stomach scans and blood tests, try basic lifestyle changes first. Eat on time and avoid junk. If the nausea doesn't go away in a day or two, then go to a local clinic for a basic checkup which is much cheaper.
When the digestive fire is weak, gas builds up and causes nausea. Practicing Vajrasana for ten minutes after your meals can help digest the food properly and release trapped gas naturally. Keep your mind calm and breathe deeply.
I know how miserable that feeling is when your stomach is bloated and you feel like vomiting. Try chewing on some fennel seeds (saunf) or drinking warm ginger tea, it really calms the stomach. But if you actually start vomiting repeatedly, please see a doctor immediately.
I used to get severe nausea from acidity and trapped gas. What worked for me was eating smaller portions and not lying down immediately after meals. If the gas pressure is pushing up against your chest, it triggers that vomiting sensation, so stay upright.
At my age, I have seen that stomach issues can easily trigger nausea if the gas is not cleared. Don't worry too much, just keep your meals very light for a day. In our time, we used to drink warm water with a pinch of carom seeds (ajwain).
