Intestinal virus: The symptoms sound like an intestinal viral illness. The diarrhea and nausea should start getting better soon. Avoid the use of milk products and start introducing blamed foods like the BRAT diet-bread, banana, rice, applesauce, tea, toast. If the symptoms aren't improving in next 2-3 days you may need to see a doctor to make sure there isn't something more serious going onl

Stay hydrated: Sounds like you had a nasty viral stomach flu. I would highly recommend taking some probiotics for a while to help your digestive tract. When you have diarrhea, it's important to drink extra fluids too, including something with electrolytes (sodium, potassium, etc). Only take ibuprofen for pain or fever, and take with some food.
