Brief Answer:
Acute gastroenteritis.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read you question and i understand your concern. Back pain, throwing up and loose motion suggest likely of acute gastroenteritis but other etiologies should be considered too. Get him evaluated, his stools assessed as black color may need evaluation to rule out any blood in it. Cipro alone should not be relied upon and that may be worsening the symptoms.

get the work up done and let them sort it out for you. Gastroenteritis / stomach flu should be considered first. BRAT diet ( banana, rice, applesauce and toast), green tea and pomegranate juices will help the bowel symptoms.

I hope it helps. Take good care of your husband and of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
