Leopard gecko threw up

Hello. I've had my leopard gecko for 3 months (I got her when she was 2 months old), I have not had any problems with her (besides a bit of curiousity -she doesn't sit still when I hold her) up until now.

At about 3:00 today, I hand fed her one mealworm, then at about 5:00, I gave her 7 more. This is the usual routine. She gets fed every second night with 7 mealworms, and she is growing fast and has a huge tail. If I let her eat as much as she wanted, she would have well more then 30... She doesn't know when to stop... Anyhow,
So about 10 minutes ago, I entered my room, and noticed that she regurgitated her mealworms.
(She also pooped - she poops every night)

When she was eating them, I noticed she ate them really fast (as per usual), and she accidentally grabbed two at a time, but ate them at the same time anyhow. I also used this new reptile multivitamin tonight, just to try it out. I usually dust with D3 one day, regular calcium the next, and no calcium the next, but like I said, tonight, I wanted to try the multivitamin.

So what caused her to vomit, do you think? The fact she at her mealies so fast tonight, or the fact that I tried that new multivitamin? My fat tail gecko also had them in the multivitamin for the first time, but hasn't regurgitated.

When should I feed her next?

Please help, thanks in advance.

It very well may be that she ate too fast. Try dropping them in front of her one at a time. My hatchlings have already learned to look for mealies falling from the sky. :D I don't see why you can't try again tonight.
