Brief Answer:
looks like gastroenteritis with gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

Your wife seems to be having gastroenteritis, food poisoning along with gastritis.

So in addition to the probiotics and omeprazole you need to add an antibiotic too.

I usually prescribe my patients with similar symptoms a combination to ofloxacin and ornidazole for five days.

I would suggest you give her the same, but for the prescription you need to see a local doctor.

Also take care of what and where she eats. Eat healthy and hygenic and properly washed and cooked food to prevent recurrence.

And she will also need an antiemetic. You can give her a combination of omeprazole and domperidone.

Hope i have been helpful.

Regards
Dr. Ashish Verma
