Brief Answer:
Gastro-enteritis

Hello,
1) These symptoms suggest possibility of gastro-enteritis.

3) Digestion would be affected because of inflammation and this lead to bloating.
4) Inflammation of stomach lead to nausea and episodes of vomiting due to irritation from stomach acid.

7) This is not serious condition as far as dehydration is prevented.
