wretching
Stomach spasms violently
Wretching is a common misspelling of retching, which means making the sound and motion of vomiting without necessarily expelling anything.
The confusion likely stems from the unrelated word wretched, meaning miserable or of poor quality.
The correct spelling for the gagging action is retching: She was retching over the toilet but nothing came up.
