What Do Episodes Of Pain And Vomiting After Eating Greasy Food Indicate?

My 20 year old college student daughter has suspected gallbladder problems. Last fall she had several incidents of pain after certain meals of rich and greasy food. Then she had an ultrasound which showed nothing so we stopped short of a HIDA scan. She continued to watch what she ate. Recent blood tests showed normal kidney and liver function. Last night she ate Dominos pizza about 7:30 and woke up at 4:40 feeling sick and had nausea. Her side doesn t hurt but her stomach does. She has thrown up 3x. The other person sharing the pizza is ok. She also is cold and tired. I think the pizza cued this due to the grease. She called her doctor s office from an hour away and the nurse thought it might be a virus. Do any of these symptoms sound like gallbladder problems???
