Gastroenteritis: If you indeed had a perforated ulcer with peritonitis, you would not be having diarrhea and likely have much more systemic symptoms. This sounds like some type of viral gastroenteritis or possible food poisoning. You should limit your oral intake to clear liquids, such as gatorade or other hydrating fluids with salt. This should improve over the next 2-3 days. If persistent, see your md.

Possibly: Sounds like you need to be seen right away. Severe stomach pain associated with vomiting and diarrhea shld be evaluated. May be enteritis or something requiring surgery. See a doctor now.
