Esther, I used to gobble my food down too and just like you be sick afterwards, until the human put a heavy wide rimmed bowl in my food bowl on top of my food and now I have to eat round it. Certainly takes me a lot longer now and I have stopped being sick. As for gobbling the water, I have never done that, but I'm thinking that maybe if the water was removed for 15mins or so after I've eaten then perhaps that would help.
