Absolutely: This could be due to several things. Food poisoning or a viral infection may be some causes. The concern at this point is dehydration. Please see an md asap to be evaluated.

Gastroenteritis: Viral gastroenteritis is one of the worst infections to have. It is also one of the most contagious (high attack rate). A diet of crackers and sips of gatorade may help. Canned soups are also good. You may benefit from IV fluids if you are unable to keep anything down. Finally, make sure to wash your hands.
