Probably not: There are no guarantees, since we don't know the exact cause her illness. But most gastrointestinal viral infections are not transmissible more than a few days after recovery. If she has felt well for 5 days or more, you're probably home free at this time.

Doubtful: If she is better then she is no longer contagious. Good luck
