Well I got brave last night and tried a half scoop of my old protein powder mixed with water (just a few sips at a time, wait 10 minutes, few more sips, and so on), and I had NO problem at all! 
So there is definitely something wrong with my Whey Power Plus.
I was considering having it tested, to see exactly what is "wrong" with it. If nothing unusual shows up, then I can only assume it's a flavoring or some other additive that I reacted so badly to. I just have this "need" to know, cuz it made me SOOO darn sick. I was actually kinda fearing for my life, I had never been THAT sick before (and I've certainly had my share of flu viruses, surgeries, etc.). Even today I'm still not totally well yet.
But, on the plus side, I lost about 3 pounds from that awful day of being sick; and my little bit of "growth" from BB didn't disappear. 
Crystalelle, are you using the unflavored NOW whey protein isolate? I actually have that in my shopping cart on Swanson's website right now (I've placed three orders from them in the last month!), and I'm just sick of being grossed out by these "chocolate" flavored ones that are just nasty. Does it mix well with things like iced tea and fruit juice?
Thanks again everyone!
