Maybe it would help to talk to her about WHY we vomit, and how it's a good thing.
For a kid, they may associate it with the "feeling" of being sick, unwell, etc- which is probably especially the case with someone who was as sick as your daughter. Itmust seem scary and unecessary to someone so young- if you were able to talk to her about how it's really a good thing, it may make it less scary for her. That, and talk to her about the mechanics of it- about how when we eat something we aren't supposed to, or are sick, our brains send a message to our stomach that makes us throw up to tell us something is wrong. We had this great exhibit at the science centre at my parent's hometown about why and how we vomit- too bad you didn't live closer!
Definitely do something- you don't want it to progress to the point of her developping a full-blown fear!
