spewed up

Ejected from stomach

Spewed up means vomited or ejected forcefully from the mouth: The sick child spewed up her breakfast.

It can describe anything expelled violently: The volcano spewed up ash and rock.

More emphatic and visceral than plain "spewed," the particle "up" reinforces the upward, outward motion of expulsion.
