What could be wrong?

Long story, thanks for reading.

This all started three weeks ago, I sat down and stupidly ate a box of cookies, this is when this all started. I didn't feel quite good after that. I felt like I had a terrible tummy ache. A few days later I started to have a sore throat and a coung, which a cough is often common for me, so I used some cough drops and though I would be good to go. Well two saturdays ago (so this has been going on for two whole weeks!) I woke up, and addition to a sore throat and cough, I felt nauseous. Terribly. And every day since then, the cough and sore throat has gone away, but I feel nauseous. The first week it was so bad I could barely make it through a class, without having to leave to go the bathroom, where I would feel like I either had to vomit or go # 2 (sorry best way to put it), and I could do neither. Now the second week of this, its just more of like constantly nauseous, or random nausea. I had purchased some Nauzene tablets for the nausea, but I don't want to get dependant on them. Other symptoms include, gurguling stomach, and sharp pain on the upper abdomen (starts at the right side, and then the left usally) and burping (which I never have done before). What could be going on with me? I am for sure not pregnant or anything. I have just started college and am beyond stress. Also could the nausea now be caused by the fear that I think I am going to get sick?
Also, I remember a time, where I used to get sick after I would eat, but that only seemed to happen with fast food.

Please help!

I was thinking about possible gall bladder problems, but my first thought was how you could eat a box of cookies and not expect to feel sick. I can on;y eat around four cookies at a time and I've had my fill. Try eating peanuts of some other fatty, rich foods. If you get nauseous after a short while it migh be your gall bladder, especially if you have a dull ache in your right side or right back near your shoulder. If you ever suspect you ate something that was bad are are concerned about food poisoning, try downing a few shots of whiskey. The alcohol will kill most of the nasties in the bad food and you'll probably feel a lot better in a short while. I've done that on a few occasions and it works well.

I had been the first week, and then added some fiber powder to my food, and now I am not. I just read online that this could maybe be a gallbladder issue?
