What should we do if someone is experiencing stomach pain and vomits when he eats food? He doesn't have a headache at all.

If that person is becoming malnourished or losing weight, then they need to see a specialist right away for evaluation. If they are unable to keep down simple liquids like water, they may need to be in the hospital with IV fluids to prevent dehydration. Sometimes a liquid diet with nutritional shakes can help, if taken slowly.
He should consult Pediatric GI. He needs an EGD, acute abdominal Xray series, minimum.
Well there are many questions to ask about this and maybe a test or two. The best way to proceed is to see a pediatrition. That is where to start.
