Dog gagging - and throwing up

My 3 year old cocker spaniel has always had a sensitive gag reflex - he very rarely wretches and throws up - mostly just gags and "spits up". Lately - within the last 2 weeks he has gotten much worse at least twice a day almost every day. It doesn't only happen if he is excited - sometimes in the middle of the night I hear him get up and gag. I have taken away any extra treats, chew toys, and have (for the last 3 days) been feeding him by elevating his bowl and breaking his meals into smaller portions.(this is what my vet had suggested) So far I have not seen a real difference. He doesn't seem sick - still has alot of energy and wants to play. He does try to eat anything that the parrot drops - birdseed, but that is not what he throws up. He eats extremely fast - he was rescued from NYC and he was starving when they found him but he has always eaten fast and it is just recently getting much worse. Does anyone know or had any similar experience?
