Can Tonsil Cause Pain In Stomach?

My daughter (22 yrs) is scheduled to have her tonsils out in February. Her tonsils are enlarged and look like cauliflower all the time. Prior to a month ago, she would get sick to her stomach prior to coming down with another case of strep. Now she is always sick to her stomach after she eats anything.
Is this from the poisons (or toxins) from the tonsils, is this dangerous?
