Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/55 - gastroenteritis - pain in middle lower abdomen - fever 102 yesterday - holding water and apple sauce - feels need to urinate but can not - last stool extremely watery but no urine - last urinated 3 hours ago - wondering is to go to ER or give time to resolve ...
My thoughts:
All these symptoms are suggestive of active intestinal infection and now may be of urinary tract infection.
I would advise you the following:
Please take her to ER. The reason being she needs proper clinical evaluation, investigations of the blood, urine and stool and medications.
With such symptoms there is always a change of some sort of complications like dehydration, septicemia, bacterimia and effects on kidneys or other organs.
Hence it is always better to have proper care.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
