That : That is a confusing situation. It is not clear why he would only vomit after dinner. You bring up bulimia, i wonder if you have suspicion of that. It is not clear to me if he overeats then vomits. He could try eating smaller portions, then sitting quietly for one hour while his food digests. It would be best if he consulted his physician about this if it continues.

Food intolerance: He may have some food intolerance, dairy is common to have that effect for people who do not tolerate it. Allergy also might be an issue. Volume of food may also make a difference, keeping a food diary might be helpful. In terms of bulimia we would expect concern about weight and body image. Would be worth a discussion.
