If he has a tendency to gulp his food he may be eating so fast that it has no choice but to come back up. Try getting him a slow feeder or a puzzle feeder will make him work for his meals and slow him down enough that his stomach can take in the food. Even putting a couple of big river rocks in his bowl (that are too big for him to swallow) may slow him down sufficiently. If he isn't gulping his food, it's worth getting him checked by your vet to see if there is an underlying condition causing his regurgitation.
