Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It does sound like food poisoning. It would be best to avoid any solid food till there is a 4 hour window with no symptoms.
At that point you can start a small amount of dry foods only. If this is tolerated then the amount of food and the type can be slowly changed.
In the mean time, you should use fluids to replace the fluids that you are losing.
This can be done with oral rehydration products or dilute gatorade.
Probiotics, either on their own or in certain yogurts may also help.
I hope this helps
