Why specifically does consuming too much sugar make one experience nausea/vomiting? What's going on in the body to upset the stomach and cause an adverse reaction?

Excess sugar in one location, in this case your stomach, draws a lot of water from surrounding tissue to balance the solute concentrations on both sides. That influx of water in your stomach causes nausea and vomiting. Burgers and other things aren't broken down as fast so you don't have such a huge shift in sugar drawing in water.
