Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe vomiting, diarrhea and leg cramps which is due to dehydration which seems to be due to food poisoning and acute gastroenteritis. Food allergy can also be one of the reasons.It could be due to disturbed metabolism of body leading to electrolyte imbalance. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen and antiemetic medication. Avoid intake of any outside food . Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of condition and start treatment accordingly. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days. You should take proper rest. You should take plenty of fluids to re-hydrate.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
