Are Nausea, Diarrhea And Upset Stomach Symptoms Of Stomach Infection?

my wife, age 57 has what we think is a stomach virus or stomach flu. she was fine this morning but got sick by noon today. symptoms are nausea, diarrhea, sick to stomach. She is lethargic. no appetite. I have given her ginger ale and saltine crackers. She ate/drank little. If this is the 24-48 hour flu bug going around, what might recommended home treatments include?
