You got it right only in the end, as it is the motion sickness that makes you throw up, not the g force. The small sensors in the internal ear transmit to the brain information that is different from that coming from the eyes, and here’s where the trouble starts. This is why there are air sickness bags in airliners, wgere the g forces are negligible. The only sensible g force influence is during the negative g’s, when the content of your stomach is being pushed up an can trigger vomiting.
