For lunch he had some yogurt with blueberries. about an hour ago he reported to me that he felt nauseous. He vomited and now he also has diarrhea. He doesn't want to go to the ER. We drink filtered water or canned soft drinks or juice. I do not give him tap water.

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to health care magic,
Looks like he has a stomach infection, probably caused by blueberries or something he ate earlier.
Give him black tea with lemon juice, salt and sugar added twice a day.
Give him a good antacid like Omeprazole, and loperamide or immodium tablet for diarrhea. Repeat after 4 hours. If not better, he should go to ER for a course of antibiotic. If better, you can continue same. Yoghurt mixed with soya milk is an ideal soft diet till he improves.
