What Causes Sudden Vomiting And Diarrhea?
My husband is a 60 year old male, has sudden onset of vomiting and diarrhea this morning and it still happening. No fever, no chills. We have eaten similar items in the last 24 hours so I don't think its food poisoning unless it can come on after 24 hours?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It can be gastroenteritis infection as per history
It can be viral or bacterial gastroenteritis infection

If needed broad spectrum antibiotic course prescribed after report
Drink more water to maintain hydration
ORS with water can be taken. Vital Z powder will be the best.
Avoid excess spicy foods
Cooked oatmeal help in soothing stomach
Fruit juice taken more
Take care
