Occassionally gagging in public is a sign of morning sickness in pregnancy!

Aww! I'm totally over my ex. But I'd feel really pathetic too if I come across him. It happens when your final interaction was not very cordial.
Vomiting is an indication of failure in digestion- both food and feelings. Feelings also fail to 'digest' at times. When you see a person your brain is habituated to associate with a particular emotion, as a reflex reaction. In the case of a horrible ex, there are conflicting emotions. One reflex is used to feeling love and closeness upon seeing the particular person. But your brain is also giving an immediate reaction to this feeling that it's not true anymore. It makes you sad, threatened, anxious, confused how to react all at the same time. The old you would smile and hug him, the new you wouldn't mind kicking him in the nuts and strangling him. You might be feeling anxious about how he will react too. What if he snubs you? What if he shows fake love? either way you are going to feel uncomfortable. Nobody likes to be in this awkward situation.
He's that gross and stinking but jokes apart, hold your head high. Feel confident. Make him vomit out of sadness and anxiety next time.

I've had this before. Vomiting is a fairly common response to fear and anxiety in some people.
It doesn't mean that you still have feelings for him exactly - just that you haven't moved on completely yet and most people wouldn't have after 3 months.
But hang in there - it will get better.

Gagging up when you see him ensures you will never be interested in him again.
Maybe you could avoid distress by literally looking the other way and not shouting loudly :
"Oh look there is vomit boy!"
One loud belch may also let him know you are not interested!

Your reaction was quite normal, I used to have the same reaction with some people in the past, even if it was just somebody talking about them.
I also sometimes have physical reactions when I am extra stressed in work type situations. Your ex must have been an extra HUGE JERK for you to have this reaction.
This extreme reaction will slowly ease off and sometime in the future you will be able to be in the same room without your bodily functions letting everybody know what you think of him ... however even if you don't vomit never trust him or your body might start reacting again.
