Brief answer
Acute gastroenteritis with constipation

Detailed answer
I have read your question I can understand your concern
earlier you have contracted some gut infection that led you to the spell of severe vomiting and diarrhoea followed by acid reflux gastritis and later on whole of gastrointestinal tract got involved.

I would suggest you syrup lactulose and some dietary fiber for immediate evacuation of bowel.
Please visit your doctor for detailed check up and anti acidity medications

Hope this will help you
wish you good health
