Doctor can evaluate: A tummy ache with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, whether at home or traveling, may be from a virus infection, bacteria infection, or contaminated food. A normal person, not pregnant, not on medications, usually recovers easily. If the symptoms are severe, a doctor or the E.R. Should evaluate to be sure there is not a problem requiring surgery (such as twisted bowel or appendicitis).
