In my opinion the symptoms can be related to gallstones.
I would suggest the following examinations to confirm the diagnosis:
A complete blood count
An ultrasound
Meanwhile, I recommend to use Buscopan 10 mg three tablets a day to relieve the pain.
I also recommend to take electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte to prevent dehydration because of vomiting.
If the diagnosis is confirmed the treatment consists in medications to dissolve the stones or surgery.
I suggest Ursodiol in my daily practice.
It is a prescribed medication, so you should consult your doctor before taking it.
