Hey, Mytical, you said you've tried everything, and so I assume that you've covered anything I can think of and this post is useless as a breathalyzer at Dragon*Con.*
But just in case!
Around a decade ago, various medical dumbnesses happened that ended up with me being told that I am not either allergic to water, that a gastroenterologist who disbelieves in Irritable Bowel Syndrome as fervently as he disbelieves in the Tooth Fairy is a nutbar, and that I did in fact have IBS. I was put on a diet actually designed for migraine sufferers, because what affects one nerve center in the body affects the other just about as hard; and I was told to take a specific digestive enzyme supplement before every meal.
That doctor moved away a year later, and the enzyme supplement company went out of business three weeks later. I've since done a lot of experimenting with other brands, and I've found "Digest Gold" by Enzymedica to be fairly close. I think it'd work better if it didn't have lactase in it. However, it's basically a batch of extra digestive enzymes that I swallow about half an hour before I eat -- so, at a traditional restaurant, right around when I order food -- and it boosts the amount of digesting I do.
I'm wondering if this would help treat your symptoms, during the early part of nausea anyway, by leaving less work for your liver to refuse to do? Or maybe there's a similar "liver function in a pill" supplement that your pharmacist could suggest?
I hope I have been helpful, or amused you momentarily, and if not I apologize for wasting your time!

But on the vinegar note they make apple cider vinegar pills....which so far I have only seen at Winco, so I don't know if they sell them anywhere else. But I take two of those a day...it's a thought.
