Vomiting upon seeing/smelling poop is not normal behavior. Much of what may be intrepreted as "stubborness" might be sensory issues. These issues often go undiagnosed until the child is school aged, and much of what you've written about your son does make me think he might have a medical/neurological issue. BTW, Sensory issues often run in families, and my DD who is diagnosed with sensory issues, it wasn't until I started learning much more about them that I came to realize that both I and my husband have sensory issues, although not in the same sensory systems....in our case DD got a multiple whammy, literally every sensory system for her is "scrambled" and either extremely hypo or hyper-sensitive, except for vestibular. Baring a medical diagnosis then perhaps a parenting coach or therapist might well be in order, to help you find a better solution to the potty training/behavior issues.

I also believe his reaction to people or family asking about the potty is telling, he's been shamed and I think you need to step back, and get some good solid , non spanking advice, its obvious to me that your son is having issues with the potty, but where does behaviour come into this? you mentioned his behaviour but what i read was his reaction to your negative behaviour towards the potty. Not at all to be harsh, but i do believe you folks would do well by enlisting a parenting coach to assist you in providing some positive re-inforcements (what you mentioned is NOT positive re-inforcement) that is withholding things from him to come to line...very very different. If then you feel a visit to the GP for a check-up to ensure all is working order with him , then i would do this at the same time as above... Good luck!
