Can an old house make your stomach hurt?

A few months ago my family moved into a house, and it's super old. There are parts of wood that are decaying on the trim around the floor. Also, there was wallpaper that had been on my bedroom wall since the house was built, and when we went to peel it off, only one layer came off. So far we've painted over every wall except the wall my bed sits up against. Since we moved in, every morning when I wake up, my stomach hurts. Today it hurt so bad that I threw up, and had to stay home from school. I was wondering if exposure to all these old things could make my stomach hurt.

Update:

It's rotted away, as in..not there anymore because it's rotted..what can I do for that? Also I found some mold spots on my wall..can I do what you said to my wall as well?

    definatly yes those rotted sections can contain any number of toxic materials and there is a simple cure.... wash them with a hot soapy solution of dish soap and 25% peroxide let dry and repeat 3-4 times dry thouroughly use sealers on the floor and walls and use a good quality primer like KIL-z then your l normal top coat of paint this will kill any black mold. that alone will make you real sick
