Vomiting
Vomiting, or being sick, may be a biliary colic symptom. Vomiting, when due to biliary colic, commonly follows a period of nausea with pain, although it can also occur suddenly with the onset of abdominal pain.
Eating or drinking while experiencing biliary colic may trigger vomiting. This is more likely if a person eats fatty, processed, fried or dairy foods. In general, vomiting due to biliary colic is an automatic response by the body to experiencing pain.
