what do you mean by "get sick"????

they should not be getting sick even when fed multiple times a week! Possibly you were overfeeding him during those multiple-per-week feedings? I personally would never make my garters wait 2 weeks in-between meals.... that sounds like enough to get by on, but not really allowing for much growth or extra boosts of energy. but to each his own, I suppose. Garters are naturally opportunistic eaters and will eat just about anything they catch in the wild. I somehow see wild garter snakes eating multiple catches per week, since they are active hunters and not sit-and-wait snakes. Smaller, more frequent meals not only keep my snakes feeling content and full but is easier on their digestion. Stuffing them silly every 3 or 4 days would definitely be ill-advised though. I am curious about the "getting sick" thing though. He should not have been regurgitating at all.

The following is pure specculation, depending on if "getting sick" means he was vomiting, but possibly one time, he over-ate a bit and had a reguritation. If you had been feeding him multiple times a week and did not wait a 2-3 week period after the first regurgitation, the chances that subsequent meals would be vomited repeatedly are very high, because they need time to regenerate the lost beneficial bacteria and to restore order in the digestive tract after a regurgitation.

I don't understand what the amount of food could have to do with how present the respitory infection is. You mentioned humidity and I don't recommend adding any moisture to the air for him...keeping it dry might help to dry out his infection. As long as he has access to water he won't dry out. lol
Good luck!
