[quote=Anonymous]OP, I looked through the thread and did not see this, are you using a crate?

I foster dogs with all kinds of issues.  By using a crate when I am not at home, at least I know the vomit/diarrhea will be contained to one area.  Not that it's fun but it's better than all over the couch.

Walk her early in the morning, mid day, then a scheduled walk in the evening, either you or your DH.  That's it.  You don't take her for walks in the middle of the night for whatever reason.

For food, I would eliminate all commercial/processed dog foods and start with the most digestible ingredients and slowly introduce more.  You can google this or ask your vet.  Things like rice and shredded chicken.  I feed my family one of those already-cooked chickens then take the left over meat off the bone for the dog.

It may be that the vomit is just something you have to accept with this family member, but if she's using a crate it won't be as bad as if she's free in the home.

I applaud your commitment and your efforts!  You could also try networking with the rescue group members you got her from, they may have advice.  I know my foster group leader is very knowledgeable about dos and don'ts with dogs from a practical side.  Also there's a med she's given me in the past for vomiting dogs, I don't recall the name but you could ask the vet about it.
