Mysterious nausea?

No, I'm not pregnant.

With that out of the way, I have this really odd situation where occasionally my belly will hurt for a couple of hours until I finally vomit, and then it's okay afterward. The weird part? This only ever happens when I'm at work.

I work from 8 pm to 12:30 in the cafeteria at my school on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
My work uniform is a normal material, it has happened when I have eaten and when I have not eaten, it has happened when I work at the counter or in the dish room, and it has happened when I've worn latex gloves and when I've worn vinyl gloves, so I don't think it's any of those variables.

Could it have something to do with standing for a long period of time?

Does anyone have any ideas?

    I heard recently that some local businesses have installed a mosquito teen deterrent. It was making employees at neighbouring businesses feeling sick and nauseated. Though you work in a school, so I doubt its one of those, but it could be a sound or something in the air. Not something you can conscientiously notice.

    That's a thought, but I figured it wasn't anything about the environment of the room because I eat there every day.

    Maybe gall bladder issue?

    Could also be IBS.

    I really don't think so, IBS is normally a bowel problem (intestinal).

    Do you drink alcohol the night before?

    Nausea is a common symptom of IBS, in fact it's the most prevalent symptom for me.
