You should consult with a Physician. He or She may desire to conduct a Radiologic examanation of you Biliary Tract or Galbladder.
Nausea and vomiting are reflex phenomena which occasionally dominate the clinical picture in biliary tract disease. However, Dyspepsia, flatulence, bloating, and fatty food intolerance have long been considered "the inaugural symptoms of galbladder disease," although they are not hallmarks of gallstones.
Nevertheless, a physicial examation can allow your Physician to determine the exact location of your pain. Right upper quadrant pain or tenderness and jaundice can be the most clinically useful expressions of the presence of gallstones in the gallbladder (cholelithiasis).
Hope this answers your question!

Prisoner: Look here, doctor! You've already removed my spleen, tonsils, adenoids, and one of my kidneys. I only came to see if you could get me out of this place!
Doctor: I am, bit by bit.
