You take it on a FULL stomache, not an empty one. It makes you sick if

I understand that doxycycline's effectiveness is reduced by certain food
groups (dairy for one) so my prescription, and travel doctor, advised
taking it on an empty-ish stomach.

Dairy products will reduce the effectiveness, so don't take it after your
morning cereal. But if you take it on an empty or emptyish stomache, you'll
have the dry heaves within a half hour. Ask me how I know. :-)

The best time, according to my friends who still take it, is a half hour
after dinner.
