I agree that making yourself throw up is a bad idea, but he’s probably thinking of Sirach 31:21:And BTW, the Bible nowhere says to make yourself throw up.
New American Bible:
Also see the footnote on this verse in the New American Bible:If perforce you have eaten too much, once you have emptied your stomach, you will have relief.
New American Bible footnote:
EDIT:Emptied your stomach: the practice of induced vomiting, well-known among pagan Romans, and less well-known among the Jews, seems to be referred to here.
It turns out this is Sirach 31:25 in the Douay-Rheims Bible:
